摘要:The Venezuelan Constitution of 1999 renovates the transaction between the centralist and federal isttendencies in conflictfromthe federal pact of 1811, and it maintains the formula of 1961, about the peculiarity of our federal, butnow assumed State as having decentralized.
After the experience of a decade of decentra 1 ization, the nineties, in the mark of the Constitution of 1961, to declare our State like federal decentra1ized it constitutes animportantnormative advance, whereas the new Constitution would contain a clearer regulatory mark for the development of the decentralization and thefederalism.
Nevertheless, the form like the constituent debate was assumed, more the centra1 ist bias in the organization of the State and in the outline of distribution of competitions of the Public Power, as well as some contradictions that are observed of the constitutional text with the general premeditation of the constituent of establishing a decentralized federal State, together to the central ist premeditation observed in the legislative development, especially in laws for
the development of the decentralization or relating to the organization of the States; it has generated doubts about the possibilities of the democratic govemance of the federation. Such doubts acquire bigger dimension when linking this topic to the general atmosphere of non govemance breathedin the dificult days of April.
Due to this, it becomes necessary to make a bigger effort to reach the conditions for the govemance, understanding the importante that the separated election of govemors and mayors has had for the genuineness of the system, as well as the contribution that the short and recent experience of decentralization has meant, to the effect of a bigger efficiency of the state apparatus.
And it imposes the agreement of a national policy of decentralization, which demands a conciliatory effort of the actors before confronted. A scenario that would contribute to it would be it the operation of Govemment's Federal Council and it is necessary to place in the reconciliation table the revisión of the laws relating to the decentralization.
