Abstract

This study examines ideological differences between the Venezuelan political parties Primero Justicia (PJ) and Voluntad Popular (VP) and their emerging youth leaderships. Surveys reveal that both parties share nearly identical ideological positions, with a slight center-right tendency and an inclination toward self-expression values. The findings suggest that political polarization has suppressed ideological debate within the Venezuelan opposition, turning these parties into political platforms rather than distinct ideological entities.
