Resumen
En diciembre de 1998, con el triunfo electoral de Hugo Chávez Frías y su alianza, el Polo
Patriótico, comenzó en Venezuela un proceso de
cambios que dura hasta hoy y se inició también
en América latina, lo que algunos denominan el
giro a la izquierda de la región. Chávez se impuso durante la campaña presidencial mediante
un fuerte discurso polarizador y anti-neoliberal,
que prometió desplazar definitivamente a las
elites políticas, que dominaban el Estado desde
hacía décadas, acabar con la corrupción administrativa y encontrar a través de una democracia participativa, un nuevo modelo económico y
político para el país. En este artículo pasamos
revista a las gestiones gubernamentales de Hugo
Chávez hasta hoy distinguiendo dos períodos de
características diferenciadas: su primer gobierno
orientado por la democracia participativa y protagónica; y el segundo período actualmente en
curso, orientado por un proyecto denominando
Socialismo del siglo XXI.
The electoral triumph of Hugo Chávez Frías and his alliance –Polo Patriótico– gave rise to a change process which began in December 1998 and is still in force in Venezuela. This so-called turn to the left also developed in the rest of Latin America. The strong, polarizing and anti-neoliberal discourse of Chávez during his presidential campaign proposed the definitive removal of the state’s dominant political elites which had prevailed for many decades; the elimination of the administrative corruption; and, the achievement of a new political pattern for the country through a participative democracy. The review of the governmental actions of Chávez in this article draws a distinction between his first administration which was oriented towards a participative leading democracy; and, the second on-going one which is oriented towards a project known as Twenty First Century Socialism.
