February 19, 2009 at 8:36 pm #1193520Bolivia is one of the few countries that has two capital cities — Sucre is home to the judicial branch of the government (making it the constitutional capital), while the president and congress are stationed in La Paz (the administrative capital).
It’s hard to say exactly why Bolivia’s government is split into two places, but it seems to have something to do with the Liberal Party of 1899. According to the extensive Bolivia – A Country Study from the Library of Congress, a political power struggle and an economic shift led to the establishment of two capitals. In 1899 Bolivia’s Liberal Party overthrew the Conservative Party during the Federal Revolution. Tin mining, which was centered around La Paz, had become a big, new money-maker for the country, and tin entrepreneurs supported the Liberals. Until that time, Sucre had been the country’s capital. The more established silver mine owners and landowners near Sucre were major supporters of the Conservatives. After their victory, the Liberals wanted to move the capital from Sucre to La Paz, where their supporters were located. They were partially successful. The presidency and congress moved to La Paz, but the Conservatives managed to keep Sucre as the legal capital and the home of the Supreme Court of Justice
February 19, 2009 at 9:50 pm #1193517RAW i give it to ya .. with no trivia .. RAW like cocaine straight from bolivia!
:bounce_fl:crazy_diz:bounce_flFebruary 20, 2009 at 1:17 am #1193509i’ve been there
it’s about the size of totnes and boasts a possible ride on the “dino-bus” to a derelict concrete quarry where you can look at “genuine” fossilised dinosaur foot prints. great day out on the dino bus
in the town there’s one touristy / mountain bikey cafe that sells beer and potato wedges but outside the few blocks of the town centre there’s nothing much to see… the claim to be a capital city is a political effort to keep power out of the hands of the indigineous population
IIRC i scored a carrier bag of weed for about £3… then forgot i had it and crossed into argentina on foot… lucky to get away with that as the argentinian immigration are really heavy because they want to prevent cholera, which can be brought in on fruit from bolivia
