	Party politics in Venezuela, 1963-2000
		Elections were also encouraged by the political elites of the late 1950s, who actually made free elections a goal for their government, and by the genuine commitment of the people to the ideals of democracy.
		The interaction of mass politics, a strong social base, a nd free elections has been a surprisingly successful recipe for Venezuelan government, proving to the development theorists that some autonomous factors of modernization may be able to override the structural requirements of democratic development.
		The development of the major political parties, such as AD, COPEI, and the URD with their cross-cutting, personalist ic constituencies and their impressive acceptance of friendly rivalry, is a reflection of the fact that there is an absence of politically salient and relevant natural division in Venezuela.

		The political situation began on April 11 as a coup d'état against President Hugo Chavez and culminated with violent demonstrations in the streets of Caracas among pro- and anti-Chavez groups.
		The economic instability began with the controversial election of Chavez to the presidency, which created a rift between those who viewed him as a disgraced populist given to demagoguery and those who dreamed that social, political, and economic change could be brought to Venezuela under his command.
		Politically, he sparked controversy with his confrontational rhetoric, his overt relationships with leaders such as Fidel Castro and Saddam Hussein, and his proposal to introduce a new constitution that would increase the power of the president while weakening the legislative branch, thus creating an imbalance of power in his favor.
