Venezuelan popular organizations are demanding greater state support for their economic projects. The issue of the state purchasing the production from communes came to the forefront during a public meeting featuring President Nicolás Maduro, several of his ministers, and communards from across the country on October 20. The gathering was held in Caracas to commemorate the 11th anniversary of former President Hugo Chávez’s final major public speech, the so-called “Strike at the Helm.” During his speech, Maduro queried his cabinet members on whether state institutions were buying the output from communal enterprises.
