“With the petro we are going to build the homes of the future…We are going to complete 2,818 homes to continue advancing in this wonderful petro experiment. We are going to create credits in petros for improvement, self-construction and home purchases,” he said.

Maduro pointed out that of the 500,000 homes that must be built annually, 70% will be under the self-construction method in order to link the people with the Venezuela Great Housing Mission.

“We are going with more force with the original project of giving the land to the people so that they are involved in the construction of buildings or houses. 70% we will build using self-construction systems with the communes and organized communities, we will try to achieve it,” Maduro added.
