Parti progressiste

The Venezuelan Progressive Advance is a political party in Venezuela that was established to offer an alternative to the country's traditional political dynamics, which have been dominated by the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) and its allies,…   who support the socialist policies of Hugo Chávez and his successor, Nicolás Maduro, and the opposition coalition, which has often been fragmented and diverse in its ideologies. Founded by Henri Falcón, a former governor of Lara state and a one-time member of the PSUV who broke away from the party, Progressive Advance positions itself as a centrist or center-left entity, aiming to bridge the gap between the polarized ends of Venezuela's political spectrum.<br /><br />The values and policies of the Progressive Advance party are centered around promoting democracy, economic liberalization, and social inclusion. The party advocates for a more open and diversified economy as a means to address Venezuela's profound economic crises, characterized by hyperinflation, shortages of basic goods, and a significant decline in living standards. It supports the implementation of market-friendly policies, while also emphasizing the importance of social programs to protect the most vulnerable populations in society.<br /><br />In terms of governance, Progressive Advance champions the restoration of democratic institutions and practices, which they argue have been eroded under the PSUV-led government. This includes ensuring free and fair elections, restoring the independence of the judiciary, and promoting the separation of powers. The party also emphasizes the importance of human rights and has been critical of the government's record on political freedoms, including the persecution of political opponents and the suppression of peaceful protests.<br /><br />Despite its centrist positioning, Progressive Advance faces significant challenges in Venezuela's highly polarized political environment, where the government has been accused of using state resources to maintain power and opposition parties often struggle with internal divisions and external pressures. Nonetheless, the party seeks to present itself as a pragmatic and inclusive alternative, capable of transcending ideological divides and addressing the pressing economic, social, and political issues facing Venezuela.Lire la suite
