Social Sciences - Government / Politics | | Spanish term or phrase: punto nodal | For the UK.
Is this something like 'main focus'? The majority of refs I find for the literal 'nodal point' are related to cameras.
Resulta claro que entre el gobierno de Evo Morales y los movimientos sociales indígena – campesino – originarios convergen una voluntad política todavía inquebrantable y la convicción de impulsar transformaciones que modifiquen substancial y positivamente el conjunto de relaciones económicas, políticas, sociales y culturales en el país, y que tienen su **punto nodal**en la aprobación vía referéndum nacional de un nuevo texto constitucional, el cual ya fue aprobado por la última sesión de la Asamblea Constituyente que se produjo a fines del 2007 en la ciudad de Oruro. |

"The whole governability problem that is so much in the news these days revolves around the crucial point that governments are legitimate only to the extent to which they are capable of satisfying the needs of the majority of the population: if they fail in this, social conflicts and explosions must be expected."
