You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.231.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:15, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Christian Democratic Party''' (((lang-es|Partido Demócrata Cristiano)), PDC) is an [[ultraconservative]]<ref name ="EFE">((cite web|url=https://www.efe.com/efe/america/politica/chi-puede-la-alternativa-sorpresa-en-las-elecciones-de-bolivia/20000035-4085912|language=ES|title="Chi puede", la alternativa sorpresa en las elecciones de Bolivia|trans-title="We can", the surprise alternative for the Bolivian elections|website=[[Agencia EFE|EFE]]|date=13 October 2019|access-date=1 September 2023))</ref> [[political party]] in [[Bolivia]].

Founded on 6 February 1954 as the Social Christian Party (((lang-es|Partido Social Cristiano)), PSC), it assumed its present name at a party congress in November 1964. Its intellectual foundations were study centres of the Church's social doctrine, the Bolivian Catholic Action and “Integral Humanism” (a centre for the study of the philosophy of [[Jacques Maritain]]). It remains a conventionally “tercerista” Party, calling for a “third way” between capitalism and socialism – a way that would be more humane and truly democratic than either competing social-political system. Founded by [[Remo Di Natale]], [[Benjamín Miguel Harb]], [[Javier Caballero]], and [[Emanuel Andrade]].<ref name="Greenwood-p131">Political parties of the Americas: Canada, Latin America, and the West Indies. Greenwood Press, 1982. P. 131.</ref>

The Christian Democratic Party took part in the 1958 and 1962 congressional elections, and  in 1962 [[Benjamín Miguel Harb]] became its first deputy. It boycotted the 1964 and 1966 presidential votes.<ref>Political parties of the world. Longman, 1980. P. 28.</ref>

In 1967, the party took part in the Government of the President of [[René Barrientos|René Barrientos Ortuño]], being given responsibility for the Ministry of Labour and Social Security and this was a major misjudgment by the PDC leadership. When military forces carried out bloody raids against mining camps, the Christian Democratic Party was forced to withdraw in anger and embarrassment, with severe internal divisions resulting. The party's youth organization had been discontented with the third-road philosophy for some time, and the mine camp invasions helped to crystallize their rebellion; they favored revolutionary socialism as a solution to Bolivia's dilemmas. In the late 1960s, the youth wing seceded to form the Revolutionary PDC which later became the [[Revolutionary Left Movement (Bolivia)|Revolutionary Left Movement]] (MIR). Several discontented members of the party, including [[Jose Luis Roca Garcia]], also left to join General [[Alfredo Ovando Candía]]'s short-lived nationalist revolutionary government in 1969–1970.<ref name="Greenwood-p131" />

Under the dictatorship of President [[Hugo Banzer|Hugo Banzer Suárez]] the Christian Democratics fought for human rights, fundamental freedoms and the holding of elections, but its president [[Benjamín Miguel Harb]] was exiled in 1974 and its organizing secretary [[Felix Vargas]] forced to leave the country shortly afterwards.
<ref>Political parties of the world. Longman, 1988. P. 66.</ref>

The PDC took part in 1978 general elections, running former Defense Minister General [[René Bernal Escalante]], a leader of the right-wing faction of which supported the [[Hugo Banzer|Hugo Banzer Suárez]] regime.<ref name="handbook-p70">Political handbook of the world 1981. New York, 1981. P. 70.</ref> After the 1978 election, [[René Bernal Escalante]] split from the PDC and founded the [[Christian Democratic Union (Bolivia)|Christian Democratic Union]].<ref name="handbook-p70" />

For the elections held on 1 July 1979, the party joined the [[Revolutionary Nationalist Movement-Alliance]] with four other parties — the [[Revolutionary Nationalist Movement]] (MNR), the [[Authentic Revolutionary Party]] (PRA), the [[Communist Party of Bolivia (Marxist–Leninist)|Marxist Leninist Communist Party]] (PCML) and the [[Tupaj Katari Revolutionary Movement]] (MRTK). The Alliance ran a MNR's leader [[Víctor Paz Estenssoro]] as its presidential candidate and a PDC's leader [[Luis Ossio|Luis Ossio Sanjines]] as its vice-presidential candidate.<ref name="Nohlen-p151">Elections in the Americas : a data handbook / ed. by Dieter Nohlen, Vol. 2. [Oxford] [u.a.]: Oxford Univ. Press, 2005. P.151.</ref> In 1979 the Christian Democratic Party won nine seats in the Chamber of Deputies and three in the Senate.

In 1980 the PDC took part in an electoral coalition [[Democratic Revolutionary Front-New Alternative]] backing ex-President [[Luis Adolfo Siles Salinas]], which polled few votes; the leader of the PDC [[Benjamín Miguel Harb]] ran as vice-presidential candidate.<ref name="Nohlen-p151" />

Soon after the restoration of democratic government, in November 1982, Christian Democratics took a seat in the [[Hernán Siles Zuazo]] Government, but withdrew from the coalition in October 1984.<ref name="handbook-p126">Political handbook of the world 2005-2006. New York, 2006. P. 126.</ref>

The PDC took part in 1985 general elections, running [[Luis Ossio|Luis Ossio Sanjines]] as its presidential candidate and [[Jaime Ponce García]] as vice-presidential candidate, and won three seats in the Chamber of Deputies.<ref name="Nohlen-p151" />
Although winning no legislative seats as an ally of the [[Nationalist Democratic Action]] in May 1989, [[Luis Ossio|Luis Ossio Sanjines]], was elected Vice-President of the Republic as a result of its adherence to the [[Nationalist Democratic Action]] – [[Revolutionary Left Movement (Bolivia)|Revolutionary Left Movement]] pact ([[Patriotic Agreement]]) in August. The PDC campaigned as a member of the [[Patriotic Agreement]] in 1993 elections.<ref name="handbook-p126" /> The Christian Democratic Party was one of the founding components of [[Social and Democratic Power]] (PODEMOS), for which it provided its electoral registration. Following the 2005 election, this alliance led the parliamentary opposition to President Evo Morales.<ref>Political handbook of the world 2008. New York, 2008.
