Yeah, now I'm remembering. Bolivia '89 was particularly famous and horrible. A non sensical congressional coalition of left and right was formed to oust the centrist candidate.
Who did the left and right agree on? Another centrist candidate?
The left-wing candidate, which ended 3rd (behind the centrist and the right-wing former dictator).
"Centrist" candidate Sanchez de Lozada was linked to 1st neoliberal government in Bolivia (Paz Estenssoro, 3rd term). And Paz Zamora made another neoliberal government, followed by Sanchez de Lozada and Banzer.
