Historians refer to this conservative consensus as "the weight of the night," after a phrase from the 19th-century Chilean minister Diego Portales.32. Nothing like it exists in Bolivia. Very minority and racist, the elite of descendants of Spaniards in this country could only be hegemonic through the exclusion of indigenous people – that is, of the vast majority of the population – from public life. Liberal ideas, which were imported into the Finland Email List for reasons of fashion and conjunctural convenience, served as a cover for a traditional-type domain. And when this arrangement ceased to be viable due to the plebeian protest and organization, the "two Bolivias" arose.33, each armed with an antagonistic conception with respect to the other regarding national construction.
On the one hand, the "national-popular" Bolivia, endogenous, indigenous, statist, leftist; on the other hand, the "liberal", cosmopolitan, white, privatizing, right-wing Bolivia. The one counting on his number; the other, with most of the economic and cultural capital of the country.
The mutual blockade and dispute between them arose then, the source of the famous Bolivian conflict. Bolivia has swung like a pendulum between one project and the other, and there have been periodic "re-foundations" of the State (see the case of the Áñez government, which despite being transitory and short-lived, tried unsuccessfully to re-found the country in a " neoliberal” and leave behind the legacy of the mas )3. 4. All this prevented an "objective" democratic institutionality from taking root, one that was not easily manipulated by the actors in the struggle.
