  Francisco de Paula Santander - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Santander was one of the battlefield commanders during the republican victory at the Battle of Boyacá in August 7 of that same year.
As acting ruler, Santander had to deal with the grave economic crisis that was one of the direct consequences of almost a decade of constant warfare, as well as with surviving Royalist sentiments, the requirements of continuing military operations (including recruitment, training and supply), administrative and legislative reactivation, and internal political divisions.
Santander was elected as one of the delegates to the Ocaña constitutional convention, during which both his supporters and other opposition political factions blocked Bolívar's attempts at reform.
