INTRODUCTION
The
Movimiento
Nacionalista Revolucionario (MNR
) was founded in 1941. The MNR
became the most significant of Bolivia's populist political parties. Backed by
a group of young military reformers the MNR came to power by a coup d'etat in
1943.
Gualberto Villarroel
became president. A
counter-revolution in 1946 ended MNR rule.
After years of suppression and
the obstruction by the military of the electoral victory of the MNR in 1951, a
successful revolt in 1952 brought the MNR again to power.
Victor Paz
Estenssoro
became president.
In 1964 the MNR lost its power to
military governments, which included the dictatorship of
Hugo Banzer
Suárez
from 1971 to 1978.
At the beginning of the 1980s the
MNR was deeply factionalized between a left tendency led by
Hernán
Siles Zuazo
and a more conservative tendency led by
Paz
Estenssoro
.
In 1985 Paz Estenssoro became president. His
deflationary new economic policy ended the nation's hyperinflation. An alliance
with the
Acción Democrática Nacionalista (ADN)
of former
President
Banzer Suárez
guaranteed a parliamentary
majority for some time. In 1989 this `pact for democracy' broke up, when the
MNR won the subsequent elections, but lost the presidency. Documents of the MNR
were selected by the
Centre pour la Sauvegarde de la Mémoire
Populaire (CESAME)
in Paris. This collection, received by the
IISH
in 1998 and 1999, consists of microfiches of some
correspondence 1952, 1986-1992, the foundation charter from 1941, pamphlets,
copies of periodicals, leaflets, reports, posters and other printed documents
of the MNR on the national revolutionary movement, on the counter-revolution of
July 1946 and the power of the Bolivian oligarchy, on the revolution of April
1952 and its commemorations (1962-1992). It also contains information about the
government programs of the MNR, on economic and social reforms, including the
nationalization of the mines and agricultural reforms 1952-1997, on the
position of
Hernán Siles Zuazo
in 1979, on the
modernization of the MNR and on the election campaigns in the 1980s and 1990s.
Besides the CESAME microfilmed the printed speeches of Victor Paz Estenssoro
1953-1989, copies of periodicals 1954-1996 and press clippings 1948-1992.
The list of this collection consists of two parts. In the first part (p. 2-7)
the rough descriptions of the entire collection can be found, with the numbers
of the microfiches in the margin. In the second part a detailed survey is given
of the contents of only the microfiches 1-223. In this part the fiche-nos.
(left) and the item-nos. (right) are mentioned in the margin.
The
references in the first part of the list refer to the item-nos. in the second
part of the list. Some items could not be found on the fiches, therefore a
fiche-no. is lacking.
