Last week at LAPA 🌎

Two conversations. Two countries. Big questions about democracy and security in Latin America.

🇻🇪 Venezuela in Transition: Is Democracy Within Reach?
With Daniel Batlle, David Smolansky, and Carrie Filipetti, we unpacked what a credible democratic transition could look like — the institutional milestones required, the role of the military and the opposition, and how U.S. policy shapes the road ahead.

🇨🇴 Colombia at the Crossroads: Security and the Electoral Process
In a Spanish-language conversation, Senator Mauricio Gómez Amín shared insights on Colombia’s political moment as the country heads toward the 2026 presidential elections, amid renewed security concerns.

At LAPA, we continue to create space for informed, rigorous, and timely dialogue on the region’s most pressing challenges.

More conversations coming soon. 🌎
