Resumen
PRUDEN, Hernán. "Civic" and not so civic struggles: Santa Cruz de la Sierra (1957-59). Rev Cien Cult [online]. 2012, n.29, pp.127-160. ISSN 2077-3323.
This article examines the dispute, concerning the oil royalties distribution, between the Pro-Santa Cruz Committee (CPSC), led by Melchor Pinto, and the Nationalist Revolutionary Movement (MNR) government, chaired by Hernán Siles. The author relates this conflict to the process of citizens-hip policy extension implemented with universal suffrage for the first time in Bolivia in 1956.These events concur with the passage of the Petroleum Code and so gave CPSC the opportunity to generate, around the slogan of royalties for urban public Works, a large opposition movement against the governing party. Which was self-described as an "apolitical" movement, but actually camed out as supra-political, for it was a tribune from which regional political leaders asked democratically elected representatives for called for regional accounts.
