Alviarez articulated a firm belief that the resolution to Venezuela's protracted crisis lies solely in the hands of its citizens through the ballot box. He stressed that a democratic election is the singular pathway to reconciliation, the restoration of institutional order, and the re-establishment of democracy. This perspective highlights the opposition's consistent demand for electoral conditions that allow for a fair and transparent process, asserting that such conditions are fundamental prerequisites for any meaningful political transition.

La única manera de salir de esta crisis, la única manera en que podamos ir a un proceso de reconciliación, de institucionalidad y de encontrar la democracia en Venezuela, es que el venezolano dirima su propio destino y solo se puede hacer a través de un proceso de elección

— Henry AlviarezExplaining that the only way to exit the crisis and achieve reconciliation, institutionalization, and democracy is through Venezuelan citizens deciding their own fate via elections.

The party's current focus on organization and preparation reflects a strategic imperative to capitalize on what they perceive as a unique moment of social cohesion. Alviarez noted an unprecedented unity surrounding the current leadership and a shared desire for change among the Venezuelan populace. This sentiment, he suggests, provides a strong foundation for their electoral efforts, indicating a populace that is clear-eyed about the path forward and eager to determine its own destiny. The emphasis on 'conditions' for an election also points to the ongoing challenges and the need for guarantees against manipulation or unfair practices, a critical concern for opposition movements in Venezuela.
