Abstract
Description
La legitimidad del gobernante democrático requiere ser construida para ser obtenida, y necesita
ser permanentemente renovada para ser conservada. El problema surge cuando el discurso
que le permitió ser considerado la mejor opción en una elección, se contrapone a su gestión gubernamental,
debilitando e incluso destruyendo la legitimidad obtenida a través del voto. Este
fue el caso de Lucio Gutiérrez, cuya actuación como presidente lo alejó del imaginario y de los
relatos que, durante el proceso electoral, lo habían posicionado con una imagen distante a la
proyectada por los políticos tradicionales. Esto mermó su legitimidad presidencial, y desembocó
en la llamada “rebelión de los forajidos”.
Democratic legitimacy needs to be built in order to be gotten and need to be constantly renovated in order to be maintained. But, when government performance is opposed to political discourse, legitimacy gotten through vote is destroyed. It was the case of Lucio Gutiérrez, whose performance as president was far away from the imaginary and the narratives that he built as candidate during the electoral process. Thereby, his legitimacy was shattered, and it lead to the named rebelión de los forajidos.
