Abstract:
Bolivia since its birth has presented several contradictions regarding the indigenous as being that at the birth of the Republic had to sustain themselves economically at their expense without treating them as citizens, after they were killed as soldiers in the Chaco for defending a State that took their land and did not gave nothing in return, to finally deprive them of their identity and impose the classification of peasants in 1952. Another cyclical feature in Bolivian history is the caudillismo and power conflicts in non-solid political structures, composed of dangerous mixtures of family quotas, friends or others that as history shows were the end of parties like UCS or CONDEPA, depositaries of the majority discontent towards the 'traditional' parties in the 90s, giving a breath of fresh air to the national political spectrum. This was the breeding ground for the subsequent appearance of Evo Morales in the political scene, becoming president later, having inserted in the current Constitution elements such as Decolonization and Gender Equality in order to favor the always disadvantaged, indigenous and women. But there is still a long way to go until a woman is president in Bolivia, one reason is that Bolivian society is still macho despite the fact that there are great changes in gender equity, proof of this is the indisputable candidacy of Evo Morales in the most socially representative party. In contrast, the indigenous principles of Rotation and Complementarity are proposed as an alternative that makes effective as it happens ancestrally in the indigenous nations of the West, that all have the opportunity to accede to hierarchical positions without any distinction, being achieved in this way that in the future a woman can to be President of Bolivia.
