The text calls for building a popular, just, and moral government, where the direct participation of communities is the guarantee of lasting peace with social justice for all families.
Under the slogan that faith moves mountains, the presidential message linked Christian teachings with the Bolivarian commitment to motivate citizens to vote massively in their respective communal circuits.

The letter concludes with a blessing for the electoral day of this March 8, describing it as a sign of firm faith and daily struggle for national sovereignty.
President Maduro assured that, united in the ideal of Bolívar and Chávez, Venezuela will continue to transform itself into a home of love and justice where power truly resides in the hands of organized citizens.
The entire message was received with enthusiasm by the international brigades and social movements accompanying the voting process throughout Venezuelan territory.
This pronouncement from New York reaffirms the validity of the presidential leadership and the determination of the Bolivarian Government to deepen the model of direct democracy through popular consultations.
