Also in the article:

"We have a strong and powerful domestic market with purchasing capacity, because we have a population with job security, good income and strong wages...Now we need a production system to respond to this,” he said."

This is a point fequently ignored when people criticize the economic situation of Venezuela. There's no doubt that the Venezuelan domestic market was empowered in an unprecedented manner.

I'm also curious to learn more about these planned special economic zones. We got one in Manaus, Brazil, but it's hardly a good model... would love to know what they are thinking of doing.
