Department, achieved through the consolidation of a multifaceted base of support composed of lower-class urbanites, western migrant settlers, and lowland indigenous peoples. Tenure Fernández spent the entirety of his parliamentary term sitting on the lower chamber's Government, Defense, and Armed Forces Commission. Of his five years in office, four were spent as chair of the Government and Bolivian Police Committee, the exception being in 2012, when he briefly served on the Fight Against Drug Trafficking Committee. In legislation, Fernández helped pen multiple bills relating to public security as well as those covering the needs of the transportation sector—most notably, the General Law on Transport, promulgated in 2011. Although Fernández was not nominated for reelection at the end of his term, the sector he represented maintained its close links with the MAS as well as its positions of power within the Legislative Assembly. After leaving office, Fernández retired to Santa Cruz, where he continued to exercise leadership over the region's urban drivers' unions into the early 2020s.
