Their leader, a former merchant and telegraph operator, was the first to jump the ship to Paraguay for help in the cause of independence, and his legitimacy with the Santa Cruz elite has only increased with each failed Bolivian attempt to retake the city. Nevertheless, the population of the region, across both sides of the latest armistice line, remain highly divided on the matter. Moreover, the government that rules the civil administration in occupied Santa Cruz is itself composed of a big-tent coalition of Ortíz Taborga's early supporters, members of the briefly extant Oriental Socialist Party, and a new generation of chiefs orbiting around the "apolitical" pro-Santa Cruz Committee. While these contain the aggregate sum of political opinion in the region, many in the latter two groups are not fully convinced of independence, which ultimately has as its guarantor only the military fortunes of Paraguay.[[/labelnote]]

* {{Hypocrite}}: The Dutch government-in-exile can dissolve itself and promise to make Suriname the primary constituent country of the Netherlands, but they are also sure to include Dutch constituencies in Suriname's upcoming elections.




to:

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Suriname frequently quarrels with the Dutch government-in-exile because the latter frequently oversteps their autonomy. Whether it improves or not depends on the Prime Minister:
** Under Rhijin or Helders, this reaches a head when the Dutch legislature turns the exile government into a ceremonial organization, grants voting privileges for Dutch exiles, and makes the Dutch premiership synonymous with the Surinamese premiership. This violates their previous autonomy agreements and produces a great rift between the two demographics.
** Under Helders, the Dutch government-in-exile will get more crown control over the Sirnamese government in exchange for dissolving itself and making Suriname the primary constituent country of the Kingdom of Netherlands. Some, like the United Hindustani Party, support this initiative, but many nationalists decry it as a violation of their country's sovereignty and the double standard of including Dutch constituencies in the upcoming elections.

* ForWantOfANail: Cepeda Vargas was OTL a communist politician who was jailed in 1964 for his revolutionary activity, later being assassinated in 1994 as a Senator for his left-wing political beliefs. However, due to Gaitán co-opting urban communist factions during his presidency, along with their distrust of the Frente Nacional making them flock towards Pinilla, Cepeda Vargas is simply a leader of the remnants of the Rojistas pardoned by the Revolutionary Union for the post-war elections.
