Venezuela’s Academy of Political and Social Sciences marked its 111th anniversary by calling for minimum democratic conditions to ensure an immediate and stable political transition. During the anniversary event, speaker Carlos Ayala emphasized that democratic stability relies on the ability of institutions and citizens to uphold fundamental principles. These principles include respect, inclusion, and the peaceful transfer of power, which he deemed essential for political life. Ayala highlighted the importance of preserving these basic norms for a functioning political system. The Academy’s statement underscores concerns about the current political climate and the need for a framework that guarantees a legitimate and orderly transition. The call for action aims to foster a more inclusive and respectful environment for all stakeholders involved in the process.
