Of the revenue that the Government has had in the last 10 years, passing the 545.000 million dollars, 330.852 million dollars have been assigned to social investment; that is, five times more than in the last 11 years of the Fourth Republic, pointing Eljuri. In total, 60% of income has given to social investment, to health, to education.Some spokesmen for the opposition consider that poverty data do not correspond with reality. To this, Eljuri responds that statistics are auditable, and come from the survey of households of Venezuela, produced for 43 years; their workers have more than 17 years making it.

According to the information handled by the official body, 14 of 24 regions of the country increased levels of serious exclusion, with a higher power in Aragua, Delta Amacuro and Nueva Esparta. The INE reported that poverty as measured by income in those States It rebounded up at 4.42 percent in a year, as happened in the case of Nueva Esparta, where extreme exclusion jumped from 1.04 percent in the first half of 2008 to 4.60% in the first part of last year. Although the insular region lost the first post as the State with the rate of extreme poverty in the country, and now stands in the second place, it is still one of the regions with less extreme poverty in Venezuela.
