This process, active through November 20, allows the more than 10,000 People’s Power delegates to receive information from the population through constructive debates, to find solutions to community problems. Nancy Acosta, head of the Office of Attention to Local Administrations at the Council of Ministers, informed that the main concerns expressed by the voters in the last few years include the high prices of essential products, water shortage, and sewage treatment.

The population has also expressed concerns about the construction and maintenance of houses and apartment buildings, the poor state of roads, public transportation, fixed phones, and improvements to electrification.
