Acción Democrática

Acción Democrática (AD) is a major political party in Venezuela, founded in 1941. It played a significant role in the country's democratic development after decades of dictatorship. AD promotes social democracy, advocating for social justice, economic development, and political freedoms. The party has a history of being in power, notably during the mid-20th century, and has shaped various policies in Venezuela. Over the years, it has faced challenges from other political movements and has been part of broader opposition efforts against authoritarian governance, especially in recent years as Venezuela's political climate has become increasingly polarized.
