Popular Will ((スペイン語:Voluntad Popular), or VP) is a centre-right〔〔 political party in Venezuela founded by Leopoldo López Mendoza, who serves as its National Coordinator. The party was formed in reaction to alleged infringements of individual freedom and human rights on the part of the socialist government of the late Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez and his successor, Nicolas Maduro. The party brings together Venezuelans of various backgrounds who consider “chavismo” oppressive and authoritarian. Popular Will identifies itself as “a pluralist and democratic movement” that is committed to “progress,” which it defines as the realization of “the social, economic, political, and human rights of every Venezuelan.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work =Voluntad Popular )〕 The party’s “fundamental pillars” are progress, democracy, and social action.〔 In December 2014, the party was admitted into the Socialist International.〔http://www.socialistinternational.org/viewArticle.cfm?ArticleID=2326〕 ==History== Popular Will traces its roots to the Popular Networks (Redes Populares) formed in 2004 as a means of promoting social action and leadership. The year 2007 saw the formation of the so-called “2D” opposition movement, which considered the constitutional referendum called by Hugo Chávez an attempt to impose dictatorship on the country. (詳細はUn Nuevo Tiempo, Primero Justicia, and Acción Democrática,〔(Manifiesto de Voluntad Popular ) (Spanish, visited September 21, 2010)〕〔(Dirigentes opositores lanzan movimiento Voluntad Popular en Carabobo ) (Spanish, visited December 05, 2009)〕 officially announced the formation of the Popular Will Movement (Movimiento Voluntad Popular) at a forum in Valencia, Carabobo. The National Electoral Council, on February 1, 2010, refused to allow the group to call itself Movimiento Voluntad Popular, supposedly because of the similarity between this name and that of the Movimiento Base Popular, a regional political party in Apure. This frustrated the party’s desire to field candidates in the 2010 parliamentary election; nonetheless, three party members won election to the National Assembly, two of them with the support of the Coalition for Mesa de la Unidad Democrática (MUD).〔(Negado en el CNE conformación del Movimiento Voluntad Popular dirigido por Leopoldo López ) (Spanish, visited February 11, 2010)〕 On January 14, 2011, the National Electoral Council of Venezuela (Consejo Nacional Electoral) formally accepted Popular Will as a legitimate political party. This was followed by an unprecedented event in Venezuelan political history, namely the choice of a party’s officials in open elections, which were held on July 10, 2011. Later, MUD candidates for the presidency and state government offices were selected in primaries that took place on February 12, 2012. Leopoldo López had retired himself and supported Henrique Capriles Radonski who was elected as the MUD candidate for presidential election of October 7, 2012. Hugo Chávez was reelected as president and the party received 471,677 votes. In the regional elections on December 16, 2012, the party was established as the fourth largest party in MUD coalition and as the sixth nationwide. The youth leader, David Smolansky, won the 2013 municipal election for mayor of the municipality of El Hatillo in Miranda State.〔(Leopoldo López anunció que Voluntad Popular es ahora un partido político ) (Spanish, visited January 18, 2011)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Popular Will」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
