The arrival to power of the Movement for Socialism and the rise to the Presidency of the Republic of Bolivia of Evo Morales after the 2005 elections have brought as a foreseeable consequence a substantial change in the political scenario not only for the Andean country, but evidently for the entire South America. To this has been added the fact that in Chile, the socialist Michelle Bachelet assumed the highest magistracy of her country. Both leaders have become immediately aware that the beginning of their administration, almost simultaneously, opens a new scenario that allows us to think that this time the conditions are in place to produce the necessary rapprochement between both countries to change the circumstances that to date Today they have prevented a solution to the Bolivian claim to recover its maritime quality.
