Abstract

The Venezuelan political system was transiting its first two decades in a democratic system of government. However, since the seventies of the twentieth century began to experience a series of challenges that would create tension among major stakeholders. The government of Dr. Luis Herrera Campins (hereafter lhc) was to be the witness  of how economic policy mistakes of the past and the mistakes of this administration weakened the political system ostensibly designed in the Pact of Puntofijo. The purpose of this paper is to provide a range of evidence on how the Social Christian government headed by lhc, from 1979 to 1983 was characterized by difficulty in giving continuity to the compromise and consensus developed during the first governments in the democratic era.
