Abstract
El desarrollo de una investigación cualitativa muestra que la democracia todavía se encuentra anclada en prácticas representativas en el Municipio de Sucre. Al poder sólo accede un grupo reducido de ciudadanos que ostenta el cargo de dirigentes legal y legítimamente respaldados; en su mayoría son hombres, generalmente adultos. Esto muestra una cultura dominante con fuertes matices machistas y adultocentristas. Este fenómeno sucede a pesar de las leyes de participación y equidad. Esta realidad se estudia desde la democracia intercultural, se concluye con la creación y aplicación de fórmulas comunes y diferenciadas para garantizar la participación de hombres, mujeres y jóvenes en el goce de los derechos políticos, bajo un criterio equitativo de oportunidades, promoviendo la presencia de naciones y pueblos indígenas históricamente excluidos por cuestiones de género, raciales, étnicos, generacionales y preferencias sexuales. Esto no implica la exclusión de los actores políticos que usufructuaron el ejercicio del poder en Bolivia, desde la creación de la República el 6 de agosto de 1825.
This qualitatively developed research has evidenced that democracy is still anchored in representative practices where only a small group of citizens hold positions of leadership legally and legitimately backed up; this happens despite legislative advances targeting the broad recognition of political and civil rights for all citizens. All of this happens in the sociocultural reality of the town of Sucre. Most people empowered are men, generally adults due to the presence of a dominant culture with strong nuances of male chauvinism and adult centrism. This reality, from an intercultural democracy point of view, calls for the creation and the extension of common and differentiated formulas to guarantee the participation of men, women and young people in the empowerment with political rights under the criteria of equal political opportunities. It is right to put on the political map Indigenous Nations and Peoples historically excluded due to their gender, racial, ethnical, and generational and sexual preferences. This inclusion does not mean the exclusion of political actors who have taken the advantage of Power Practices in Bolivia since the creation of the Republic on August 6, 1825.
