Mérida, December 10th 2010 (Venezuelanalysis.com) – Late last night Venezuela’s National Assembly approved the new Organic Law of Popular Power, and this afternoon it passed the Organic Law of Popular and Public Planning. The two laws form part of a group of five “popular power” laws that aim to transform the state structures of planning and decision making to involve more grassroots organisations.

The National Assembly began its second round of discussions of the block of laws this week. Together the laws promote decentralisation of power, collective property, self government, and the Government Federal Council as the planning organisation.
