National Congress Of Bolivia
The Plurinational Legislative Assembly ( es, Asamblea Legislativa Plurinacional) is the national legislature of Bolivia, placed in La Paz, the country's seat of government. The assembly is bicameral, consisting of a lower house (the Chamber of Deputies or ''Cámara de Diputados)'' and an upper house (the Chamber of Senators, or ''Cámara de Senadores)''.

Daniel Salamanca Urey
Daniel Domingo Salamanca Urey (8 July 1869 – 17 July 1935) was a Bolivian politician who served as the 33rd president of Bolivia from 1931 to 1934 until he was overthrown in a ''coup d'état'' on November 27, 1934, during the country's disastrous Chaco War with Paraguay. Political career Born in Cochabamba, Salamanca studied law, before being elected to Bolivia's Chamber of Deputies in 1899 for the Liberal Party. Two years later, President José Manuel Pando appointed him Finance Minister. Salamanca eventually split with the Liberals, however, and helped to found the new Republican Party, running unsuccessfully for Vice-President in 1917. Following the split of a faction opposed to the growing (some would say ruthless) ambitions of Republican leader Bautista Saavedra, the ascetic, professorial Salamanca founded, with a number of other men including Juan Maria Escalier, the so-called Genuine Republican Party (''Partido Republicano Genuino''). Salamanca himself ran fo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Genuine Republican Party
The Genuine Republican Party ( es, Partido Republicano Genuino, PRG) was founded in Bolivia in 1921 by José María Escalier and Daniel Domingo Salamanca Urey following a split in the Republican Party. Genuine Republican Party was formed by a conservative sector. The Republican Government of Bautista Saavedra enacted progressive social and labor codes and doubled government taxes on mining. Frightened, the urban upper class and traditional rural and regional elites rallied around Daniel Salamanca, a Cochabamba Department landowner and old-style patrician. The program of this party advocated recovery of Bolivian territory and freedom of speech. In May and December 1925 Daniel Domingo Salamanca Urey unsuccessfully ran in the presidential elections. Shaken by his defeats, Daniel Salamanca retired from politics and dedicated himself to teaching law. After the military overthrow of Hernando Siles Reyes in 1930, Daniel Salamanca was asked to head a coalition of Genuine Repu ...

Liberal Party (Bolivia)
The Liberal Party (Spanish: ''Partido Liberal'', PL) was one of two major political parties in Bolivia in the late 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. The other was the Conservative Party. The Liberal Party was formally founded in 1883 by Eliodoro Camacho. The party espoused freedom of religion, a strict separation between church and state, legal acceptance of civil marriages and divorce, and strict adherence to democratic procedures. When the party took power in 1899, it moved the base of the presidency and the Congress to La Paz, which became the ''de facto'' capital city. The Supreme Court remained in Sucre. To this day, Sucre is the ''de jure'' capital of Bolivia while La Paz acts as the ''de facto'' seat of government. Between 1899 and 1920, all of the Presidents of Bolivia were members of the Liberal Party, supported by the tin-mining oligarchy until the Republican Party took power in a coup in 1920. The last Liberal president was José Luis Tejada Sorzano, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Socialist Republican Party (Bolivia)
The Socialist Republican Party ( es, Partido Republicano Socialista, PRS), whose members were also known as "Saavedristas", was a political party in Bolivia. The Socialist Republican Party emerged on January 28, 1921, as the Republican Party was bifurcated on the same day Bautista Saavedra took office as President of the country. The Socialist Republican Party was formed by Saavedra's followers. The Republican Socialist Party was formed by a reformist sector. Bautista Saavedra, a populist, represented middle-class and resented the old party's close ties to the powerful tin barons. His appeal to urban middle-class artisans, small merchants, and laborers generated a nonestablishment political base and a new class consciousness. The Republican Government of Bautista Saavedra enacted progressive social and labor codes and doubled government taxes on mining. Though more concerned for the underprivileged classes, Bautista Saavedra blatantly manipulated his populist support. In the 1925 ...

Nationalist Party (Bolivia)
The Nationalist Party (in Spanish: ''Partido Nacionalista'', PN) was a Bolivian reformist and nationalist political party. The Nationalist Party was founded on 29 December 1926 by President of the Republic Hernando Siles Reyes and a group of young intellectuals, such as Augusto Céspedes, Carlos Montenegro, and Enrique Baldivieso. Hernando Siles Reyes was one of the founders of the Republican party (1914) and Socialist Republican Party (1921). He was Bautista Saavedra's hand-picked successor, but once in power he broke from him and formed his own faction which became Nationalist Party.

Despite all this, the Siles government soon ran into economic and political difficulties associated with the far-reaching effects of the Great Depression of 1929. The Nationalist Party became a semi-official party and Siles' sole base of support. It was a fragile base. In the midst of economic crisis and social unrest, S ...
