Social And Democratic Power




Podemos is the name of a right-of-center, pro-business Bolivian political party. It is a pseudo-acronym standing for 'Poder Democratico y Social' (in English, Social and Democratic Power), but the word also means "we can."

Podemos is in fact the continuation of the Acción Democrática Nacionalista (ADN) of former president Hugo Banzer . Upon Banzer's death in 2002 , former president Jorge Quiroga (2001-2002) became leader of the ADN, but apparently concluded that the name of the party was too associated with the life and thought of the ex-dictator. Thus, he changed the name of the organization to Podemos and ran as its presidential candidate in the 2005 elections. He finished a distant second to current president Evo Morales of MAS (Movement Toward Socialism). It should be noted that even though Podemos is on the surface a new party, its structures, ideology, and supporters remain basically the same as those of the old ADN.
