  • Primero Justicia vice president Edinson Ferrer said strengthening families should form a central part of Venezuela’s reconstruction.
  • He linked household well-being to reliable electricity, adequate wages, improved schools and better-paid teachers.
  • Ferrer also called for talks with religious groups to develop a joint plan for strengthening family values.

Venezuela’s reconstruction must begin at home, opposition leader Edinson Ferrer argues. The Primero Justicia national vice president says the country’s recovery cannot stop at rebuilding political institutions. It must also improve the daily lives of Venezuelan families.

Ferrer said a political process is already moving forward and urged preparations for the period that follows. He described negotiations promoted by the United States and pursued by the 2015 National Assembly as an effort to restore Venezuela’s institutions and lead to presidential elections. In that election, he said, voters would be able to bring María Corina Machado to victory.

A negotiation process promoted by the United States and advanced by the 2015 National Assembly is already under way. It seeks to reinstitutionalize the country and lead us to presidential elections where we can vote and bring María Corina Machado to victory.

· Edinson FerrerHe described the political process he says is preparing Venezuela for future elections.

From there, Ferrer said, the country should debate how recovery will work in practice. He placed household welfare near the top of that agenda, arguing that families with a good quality of life would be better able to develop in healthy conditions. He also called on Venezuelans to prepare for the Venezuela they want to live in.

I am convinced that if our families have quality of life, they will be able to develop in a healthy way.

· Edinson FerrerHe explained why household welfare should guide the country’s reconstruction.

His proposal connects family stability to basic public services, household income and education. Reliable electricity, he said, would give families back spaces for living together and improve well-being inside their homes. Parents also need wages that can cover their children’s basic needs, which Ferrer described as necessary for the healthy development of future generations.

Education is another pillar of his plan. Ferrer called for schools to be restored and for children to have safe, calm and suitable places to learn. He said teachers should receive better pay, allowing them to work not only as classroom educators but also as family guides who help reinforce values.

Each of us must prepare for the Venezuela we want to live in, one that resembles us.

· Edinson FerrerHe called on Venezuelans to think about the country they want after reconstruction.

Ferrer also proposed bringing the country’s religious communities into the discussion. Primero Justicia, he said, wants to meet with all religions represented in Venezuela and develop a joint plan to strengthen family values.

We are talking about an integral education.

· Edinson FerrerHe argued that well-paid teachers should support both classroom learning and family values.
