Santa Cruz is also where the headquarters of the main right-wing political alliance — the 'We Believe' coalition (Creemos, in Spanish) — is located. Meanwhile, La Paz, the administrative capital of the country, tends to lean towards left-wing parties, including MAS and the 'Civic Community' coalition (Comunidad Ciudadana, in Spanish).
