The statement says that a culture that promotes civic participation is necessary for a democracy to be maintained. This means without such a culture, democracy cannot exist. However, it does not guarantee that a democracy will always exist with a culture that promotes civic participation. Therefore, the conditions are necessary but not sufficient.
