SOSA, Pamela. Frente para la Victoria's construction of legitimacy (1988-1991). Trab. soc. [online]. 2011, n.16, pp.255-270. ISSN 1514-6871.

The principal aim of this article is to rebuild the construction of legitimacy of the Frente para la Victoria (FPV) in Santa Cruz's political scene, from its born in 1988 to the rise to government in 1991. This paper recognized three types of construction of legitimacy to replace declining traditional parties's legitimacy: UCR, PJ, PI and MID, between others. In this context, the FPV deployed legitimacy's strategies aimed at diverse groups and adding referents of different parties trajectories. In second place, the discourses and the conformation of the political elencos from the FVS tried to represent the typical fragmentation of a society formed for several migratory segments. Finally, the FPV made a new a-political parties offer in keeping with the representations about the crisis of state during middle 80's, in which values as management, efficiency,  order, work and governability played an important role. The FVS's legitimacy strategies show how the first stage of political power construction was a effect of its trajectory in the boundaries of weak social and politics groups.
