Buzzword Alert Written on September 30, 2005, by Eddie.
Which Bolivian Presidential candidate recently accused some political actors of falling victim to “Gonismo” during the electoral crisis currently taking place in Bolivia? As I wrote earlier, “Gonismo” is a popular buzzword used in reference to the negative influence that former President Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada still holds over Bolivian politics even when living comfortably in the United States.
It would be logical to arrive at the conclusion that it was Evo Morales who used this buzzword among his arsenal of talking points (also included: neoliberal, fascist, oligarchy). After all, he seems to be anti-everything. Instead, it was Jorge “Tuto” Quiroga, a person often linked to Goni-like policies, even though his ADN party was essentially in the opposition after the 2002 election.
In that context, Quiroga asked the social sectors, political parties and especially the government to “not allow themselves to be influenced by Gonista interests”
As this word is thrown about by anyone, it will continue to lose its original intent and no longer be an effective word to be used in the campaign.
