A New National Assembly for Venezuela

njankowicz — Wed, 16 Dec 2015 14:06:23 +0000

Against the backdrop of a worsening economic crisis, Venezuelans went to the polls on December 6 to elect a new National Assembly. The government of President Nicolas Maduro experienced an unprecedented defeat as Venezuelans turned out in large numbers and voted decisively to put the country’s National Assembly under the control of the opposition coalition Democratic Unity Table (Mesa de Unidad Democrática, MUD) for the first time in seventeen years. In what was widely recognized as a positive step for Venezuela’s democratic process, President Maduro quickly conceded the loss on election night.

In a sharp rebuke to the PSUV and its current leadership, Venezuelans across the country, including in historic Chavista strongholds, voted the MUD alliance a “supermajority.” This two-thirds legislative majority with 112 of the Assembly’s 167 seats, formed by 109 MUD deputies in alliance with three indigenous legislators, provides the opposition a strong institutional platform to challenge PSUV’s dominance and press for reforms.

Prior to the elections, opinion polls showed the opposition MUD with a strong lead over the governing United Socialist Party of Venezuela (Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela, PSUV). But after years of erosion of democratic practice, increasing authoritarianism and with the unchecked PSUV dominance of other government branches -- including nominally independent electoral authorities -- many Venezuelans and international observers doubted whether the opposition genuinely had sufficient voter support to overcome an electoral system widely criticised as unfair by both prominent international and Venezuelan experts in electoral law and human rights, including the OAS Secretary General, given the disqualification and even imprisonment of prominent opposition leaders, among other serious problems.

Contrary to pre-election fears, election day took place in a general atmosphere of calm and peace, with only isolated instances of violence or intimidation. Voter participation rates were exceptionally high for a legislative election, reaching 74 percent – almost as high as the 2013 presidential elections and far exceeding participation levels from the 2010 legislative elections. Although the CNE did not accept any international observers, they did accredit domestic observer groups including the Venezuelan Electoral Observatory (Observatorio Electoral Venezolano, OEV) and Education Assembly’s Electoral Observation Network (Red de Observación Electoral de la Asamblea de Educación, AE) two reputable civic organizations that are members of Lima Accord (Acuerdo de Lima), a regional network of election monitoring bodies that is an active member of the Global Network of Domestic Election Monitors (GNDEM). In fact, Acuerdo de Lima hosted its 2015 annual meeting in Caracas, and Acuerdo de Lima Venezuelan representatives attended the October 2015 GNDEM meeting in South Africa. Based on their observations, both groups issued statements after the elections in which they determined that the election day had concluded normally, with only minor irregularities that were not sufficient to impact the election’s outcome. The irregularities that were observed included the presence of government propaganda placed illegally close to polling stations and the CNE’s last-minute decision to keep polling stations open past the official closing time even when there were no voters in line. Additionally, some international groups sent informal assessment teams to analyze the pre-election environment and witness election day, including International IDEA and the Center for Electoral Advice and Promotion (Centro de Asesoría y Promoción Electoral, CAPEL) from the Costa Rican-based Inter-American Institute of Human Rights (Instituto Interamericano de Derechos Humanos, IIDH). International IDEA partnered with the third Venezuelan member of Acuerdo de Lima, the Catholic University Andres Bello (Universidad Catolica Andres Bello, UCAB) to issue a pre-election report analyzing the conditions in which the elections would take place and calling for electoral reforms. The CAPEL mission cited the same irregularities as the domestic groups, declaring that the presence of government propaganda and the CNE decision to keep the polls open served only to weaken voter confidence in the process.

On December 11, the MUD announced a legislative agenda to address the country’s economic and social challenges. Under the Venezuelan Constitution, the MUD-dominated National Assembly to be seated January 5 in theory will have substantial authority to pass reform legislation, propose constitutional amendments, exercise oversight over the executive branch, and nominate and impeach senior officials from the judiciary. This could also bring about reform of the executive, including measures that could trigger a referendum on whether to cut short President Maduro’s term. In practice, de facto PSUV control over the other government branches, including the judiciary, points to likely institutional conflict ahead.

Although many Venezuelans celebrated the opposition electoral victory, those advocating economic and democratic reforms face a long and challenging road ahead. The incoming National Assembly will likely face continued hostility and conflict with executive branch and potential challenges to its constitutional authority from the PSUV-dominated judiciary. At the same time, Venezuelans expect action from their elected leaders -- PSUV and opposition -- to ameliorate the country’s daunting economic and security challenges, including rampant inflation, chronic food and medicine shortages, and increasing levels of crime and violence. Indeed, many experts on Venezuela consider the December 6 vote less as an indication of support for the opposition and more as a rejection of the current government. As such, the opposition - which unexpectedly benefitted from the gerrymandered system to win 65 percent of the National Assembly seats with 56 percent of the popular vote - will have to work hard to prove to Venezuelans that it represents a viable political alternative and is capable of promoting positive changes for the country. Looking ahead, a key political development will be the outcome of elections for governor, which are slated for the end of 2016.

Prominent international figures, such as Kofi Annan, have called for dialogue between the Maduro government and the MUD. For its part, the PSUV government has no sign of interest in engaging the MUD in discussion of reforms to address the country’s most pressing issues. Instead, President Maduro and the outgoing National Assembly president Diosdado Cabello -- rumored to be appointed Vice President -- have announced the intention to undertake radical measures and are moving to reinforce PSUV control of the Supreme Court by filling vacancies in the weeks before the new National Assembly takes office.

While Venezuela’s polarized politics defies quick or easy solutions, Venezuelan voters have shown their voices count.

Chávez Calls for Unity After Victory in Venezuela

After President Hugo Chávez won the Venezuelan presidential election with 55 percent of the vote, he reportedly called his rival, Henrique Capriles Radonski, to appeal for “national unity.” They both mentioned their telephone conversation in Twitter posts, referring to “unity and mutual respect.” However, the exchange did not visibly ease relations between Chávez and the opposition.

William Neuman reports that “there was little indication of a warmer tone on display at a news conference held by National Assembly President Diosdado Cabello, a leader in Mr. Chávez’s party, who called the vote for Mr. Chávez “a resounding majority.” Additionally, a lot of uncertainty remains about the direction Chávez plans to lead Venezuela, as many are unclear about what his version of “‘21st century socialism,’” will mean.

Many economists believe that Chávez’s plan will be hindered “in the short term by a looming economic reckoning.” Ricardo Hausmann, the director of the Center for International Development at Harvard University warns that “‘they engineered an electoral year boomlet that is now going to fizzle...’”

Mr. Chávez’s health has also posed a major question for Venezuela’s political future. “Francisco Rodríguez, an economist with Bank of America Merrill Lynch, speculated that Mr. Chávez might propose changing the succession rules,” in order to ensure that he can appoint his successor.

While many are congratulating Venezuela on carrying out “peaceful elections,” the opposition party has expressed grievances. Ramón Guillermo Aveledo, a leader of the opposition coalition that backed Mr. Capriles argues that elections were “clean but not fair because, he said, Mr. Chávez had used vast state resources to promote his campaign.”

Chávez Wins New Term in Venezuela, Holding Off Surge by Opposition

William Neuman’s New York Times article reports on the recent re-election victory of President Hugo Chávez in Venezuela. Chávez defeated his opponent Henrique Capriles Radonski by a margin of 54 to 45 percent. Though he won definitively, Neuman reports that the margin was narrower than in past elections, and Chávez is now a “politically weakened winner facing an emboldened opposition that grew stronger and more confident as the voting neared, and held out hope that an upset victory was within reach.” Turnout for the vote was more than 80 percent, the highest it has been in decades.

Venezuela’s problems, “including out-of-control violent crime, crumbling roads and bridges, and power blackouts that regularly plague much of the country outside the capital,” have Chávez facing a different country than his previous years in office. His health, as well as his refusal to publicly share details of his cancer, also poses the question of whether he will be able to serve out his new term in full, to the end of 2019.

Though the opposition lost, Michael Shifter of the Inter-American Dialogue deemed the election a “‘fundamental turning point,’” because Chávez is “‘going to have to deal with a very different society than he dealt with in his last term, a society that’s awakened and more organized and more confident.’”

Albright Reaffirms Need to Work at Preserving 'Gift of Freedom'

fstovall — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 21:38:42 +0000

The fragility of freedom and how to preserve it was one of the themes explored at the 10th anniversary meeting of the Community of Democracies (CoD), a global coalition of democratic countries, meeting July 2-4 in Krakow, Poland.

NDI Chairman Madeleine K. Albright, who as U.S. secretary of state was an initiator of the organization along with the late Polish Foreign Minister Bronislaw Geremek, returned to Poland for the gathering. In 2000 in Warsaw, ministerial delegations from 106 countries signed a declaration, "Toward the Community of Democracies," with the aim of demonstrating methods of support to countries striving for democracy and freedom.

The Krakow meeting was attended by 80 official delegations from around the world, including 40 at the ministerial level, as well as 200 civil society activists from Burma, Zimbabwe, China, Russia and Cuba, among other places. Also attending were parliamentarians from Europe, Africa and North America who are participants in the community's Parliamentary Forum, which was launched last March at the initiative of Lithuania, which currently holds the CoD chairmanship.

New Technologies Create Opportunities, Risks in Democracy Support

In the decade since the founding of the Community of Democracies, a major change has been the explosion of technology and the tools it has created, both for those supporting the free flow of ideas and other democratic values and for authoritarian states interested in the opposite, curtailing information and suppressing human rights. Speaking on a panel in Krakow, NDI's chief technology officer, Chris Spence, explored the role of technology in democratic development and the risks its use poses in closed societies.

"Our view is that technologies are clearly a net positive for democracy...because of the important role [they] can play in consolidating democracy in fragile and transitional democratic states," he said.

The Krakow meeting focused on challenges to democracy and, specifically, how to overcome obstacles in the path of building civil society in the contemporary world. The CoD is developing a global democracy work plan focusing on such areas as civil society protections; gender equality and women's rights; poverty, development and democracy; promoting democracy and responding to national and transnational threats; and regional cooperation.

Albright attributed the success of the first gathering in 2000 to Geremek, who died in 2008 and for whom a democracy award has now been named. "In his welcoming remarks," she said, "he declared that 'the emergence of democracy was the most important development of the 20th century.' But he also reminded us that the gift of freedom was never fully safe – because from one direction or another, the principles of freedom will always be opposed. He argued, therefore, that those who are blessed to live in a democracy have an obligation to repay that blessing by upholding free institutions and by teaching, protecting, and cherishing democratic values."

Albright presented the Geremek Award to Father José Conrado Rodriguez of Cuba, a minister in the impoverished city of Santiago de Cuba. Father José, she said, "reminds us that democracy – at its best – is more than just another system of government... Democracy is grounded in a belief that the legitimate power of governance comes not from the barrel of a gun, or from the means to arrest and to brutalize prisoners, or from the capacity to punish those who dare to voice their discontent. Power, to be legitimate, must come from the people."

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who delivered a keynote address, noted "three essential elements of a free nation – representative government, a well-functioning market and civil society – that work like three legs of a stool." But "walls are closing in" on civic organizations in an increasing number of countries, she said, citing Zimbabwe, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Venezuela, Russia, China and Egypt. "Over the last six years, 50 governments have issued new restrictions against NGOs, and the list of countries where civil society faces resistance is growing longer."

"An attack on civic activism and civil society is an attack on democracy," she said. "...it doesn't matter whether the goal is better laws or lower crime or cleaner air or social justice or consumer protection or entrepreneurship and innovation, societies move forward when the citizens that make up these groups are empowered to transform common interests into common actions that serve the common good."

The next ministerial level meeting will take place in 2011 in Vilnius, Lithuania.

The Declaration of Principles for International Election Observation and the Code of Conduct for International Election Observers were developed through a multi-year process involving more than 20 intergovernmental and international nongovernmental organizations concerned with election observation around the world. The process began informally in 2001 at the initiative of NDI and the United Nations Electoral Assistance Division (UNEAD) and included an initial meeting at the UN in New York and a meeting in Washington co-hosted by the OAS and NDI. The declaration was commemorated at the UN on Oct. 27, 2005, and is now endorsed by 52 intergovernmental and international organizations, which are engaged in the process of improving international election observation.
