Some Famous People called Carlos Mesa
Carlos Mesa
Carlos Diego Mesa Gisbert (born 12 August 1953) is a Bolivian historian and politician who served as the 63rd President of Bolivia from 2003 to 2005. He was the 37th Vice President of Bolivia from 2002 to 2003. Mesa previously had been a television journalist. His widespread recognition prompted the MNR candidate Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada to pick him as running mate in the 2002 Bolivian presidential elections.
The winning ticket of Sánchez-Mesa took office 6 August 2002. Soon after becoming vice president, a wave of protests and strikes shut down Bolivia in a bitter dispute known as the Bolivian Gas War. The government's repression of said demonstrations eventually lead Mesa to withdraw support for Sánchez de Lozada, whose resignation put Mesa forward as president.
Mesa's presidency was marked by a continuation of the Bolivian gas crisis and the delicate sociopolitical status it created. Mesa resigned on 9 June 2005 amid heavy dissatisfaction with his government and pressure from labor unions, coca activists, members of the Santa Cruz autonomist movement, citizen protest, and the growing MAS-IPSP party, figure-headed by future president Evo Morales.
After his presidency, Mesa was a spokesman for Bolivia in the Obligation to Negotiate Access to the Pacific Ocean case in the International Court of Justice, which was ultimately unsuccessful.
Mesa has attempted to be elected president of the Plurinational State of Bolivia in his own right, running for the centre-left alliance Civic Community (CC), twice in 2019 and 2020. The controversial 2019 election, in which Mesa came second place to President Morales, was annulled after widespread accusations of fraud. In the 2020 election, Mesa lost to Luis Arce, to whom he conceded defeat, without challenging the results of the election and calling the CC coalition to lead the Bolivian opposition.
Mesa is a member of the Inter-American Dialogue.
