Venezuelan Vice President Héctor Rodríguez has announced plans to reorganize the country’s public sector, aiming for increased efficiency. Addressing judges of the Supreme Court of Justice, Rodríguez stated there are approximately 3.5 million public sector employees across various ministries, vice-ministries, and institutes. He emphasized that the restructuring will focus on optimization rather than job cuts, explicitly ruling out widespread layoffs. The move acknowledges the need for significant improvements within the state apparatus. Details of the reorganization plan remain forthcoming, but the initiative signals a potential shift in how Venezuela manages its substantial public workforce. The goal is to streamline operations and improve the overall functionality of government institutions. This announcement comes amid ongoing economic challenges facing the nation.
