Citizens' Fuel Council
The Citizens' Fuel Council (Consecom) is an initiative implemented by the Anti-Corruption Coalition and the Human Rights Network of the State of Lara (Redhelara) in order to monitor and document all irregularities in the supply and distribution of gasoline and diesel in Venezuela. There are 129 civil society organizations participating in the Council in order to collect and systematize reports of corruption related to the purchase and sale of fuel, and thus guarantee equitable access to gasoline. Through the "Say It Here" App, the Council collects information on corruption networks in the sector and provides legal advice to witnesses. The Council was created in response to the gasoline shortage that has aggravated the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic in Venezuela.
