डेमोक्रेटिक एक्शन पॉलिटिकल पार्टी

• The Venezuelan Democratic Action (Acción Democrática - AD) is one of Venezuela's oldest and historically most significant political parties. Founded on September 13, 1941, it emerged from the political and social struggles of the early 20th century, aiming to establish a democratic, civil, and socially responsible government in Venezuela. The party played a pivotal role in the modern political history of Venezuela, especially during the mid-20th century, contributing significantly to the establishment of democratic institutions and practices in the country.
  
  Democratic Action's values and ideology are rooted in social democracy. The party advocates for a political system that combines a market economy with social policies that aim to reduce inequality and promote social justice. It supports the principles of freedom, equality, and solidarity, emphasizing the importance of human rights, democratic governance, and the rule of law. The party has traditionally championed labor rights, education, health care, and social security, seeking to balance economic development with social welfare.
  
  Throughout its history, Democratic Action has experienced both triumphs and challenges. It was instrumental in the drafting of the 1961 Constitution, which laid the foundation for Venezuela's democratic period that lasted until the late 1990s. The party provided two Presidents in the latter half of the 20th century: Rómulo Betancourt (1959-1964), who is often referred to as the "Father of Venezuelan Democracy," and Carlos Andrés Pérez, who served two non-consecutive terms (1974-1979 and 1989-1993). Their administrations were marked by efforts to modernize the country, land reform, nationalization of key industries, and significant social investment, although they also faced criticism and challenges, including economic difficulties and social unrest.
  
  In recent decades, Democratic Action has faced significant challenges, particularly with the rise of Hugo Chávez and the Bolivarian Revolution, which shifted the Venezuelan political landscape dramatically to the left. The party has been part of the opposition to the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) and its government, criticizing its authoritarian tendencies, mismanagement of the economy, and violation of democratic norms. Despite the challenges, Democratic Action remains an active participant in Venezuela's opposition, advocating for a return to democratic principles, the restoration of the rule of law, and the resolution of the profound social and economic crises that the country faces.
