The Seat of Power


The Seat of Power

In a ceremony at the Government Palace in La Paz, Bolivian President Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada (left) congratulates members of his cabinet. Sanchez de Lozada, who served as president from 1992 to 1997, was elected president again in August of 2002 after a congressional run-off determined the winner of a narrow race with the left-wing indigenous leader Evo Morales. Previously, Sanchez de Lozada carried out a widespread privatization program. He is a millionaire who was owner of the nation's largest mining company, and was raised and educated in the United States.
