Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada
Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada, often referred to as 'Goni,' is a Bolivian politician and businessman who served as President of Bolivia from 1993 to 1997 and again from 2002 to 2003. His tenure was marked by significant economic reforms, including privatizations and liberalization policies, aimed at modernizing Bolivia's economy. However, his presidency also faced widespread protests and criticism, particularly regarding social inequality and the controversial gas and oil policies that led to the 2003 gas war. Following his resignation amid violent protests, Sánchez de Lozada fled to the United States, where he has since lived in exile. He was recently mentioned in the news as a potential candidate for the upcoming elections, as the Frente Para la Victoria party has the legal right to invite him to run, despite his controversial past.
