Poder Democrático Social

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Poder Democrático Social (Podemos for short) is a party in Bolivia .

It was created in the run-up to the general elections in December 2005 and forms a broad gathering movement of the western-oriented middle and upper classes in Bolivia. Leading representatives come from the national-conservative ADN as well as from the social democratic MIR (Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionaria), which did not run for these elections. With just under 29%, Podemos is the second strongest force in the Bolivian Congress.
