The Association of Venezuelans in Defense of
Democracy "AVENDED" is a non profit civil association, founded on
November the 10th, 2003 by a group of Venezuelans living in
the city of Edmonton, Alberta Canada.
Our mission is to contribute to
promote and strengthen the democracy in Venezuela.
Democracy depends on a
Legislative power with legitimate representative that can understand the needs
of the people and supervise the executive power. An independent Judicial power
that renders justice and is the guarantorr of legality, and the proper
application of the law. An electoral power that promotes the development of
honest and responsible political parties, and that guaranties the realization of
transparent electoral processes, where the people can express freely their
opinion with the confidence that the decision of the majority will be respected.
Democracy in its simplest concept
establishes that the sovereignty lays in the people. Our Association recognize
that such power comes along with a tremendous responsibility, in which a
prepared and active society constitute the fundamental bases of the democratic
pillars. Hence, AVENDED is committed to deepen the democratic concepts and
values among its members, in order to take solid actions oriented to defend and
strengthen the democracy in Venezuela, always within the constitutional frame
and by peacefully means.
