Media luna

Media luna

The Media luna ("half moon") or Media luna ampliada ("extended half-moon") refers to a group of the prefects of four departments - Santa Cruz, Beni, Pando, and Tarija - in Bolivia which have become, in 2008, major areas of violence between supporters of the national government and supporters of autonomy for the departments; the prefects hail from Bolivian opposition parties.

The list of "media luna" departments may also include the departments of Cochabamba and Chuquisaca.

The term "Media luna" was coined soon after the election of Evo Morales to designate the mostly eastern-located departments that objected to the nationalization of natural gas that is a major natural resource in the Media luna region.
