Este artículo analiza las formas de acción política de los sectores populares y el modo en que se conjugaron identidades étnicas, liderazgos militares y lealtades en Montevideo a mediados de la década de 1840, en el contexto del sitio militar que atravesó la ciudad-puerto entre 1843 y 1851. Para ello se exploran los desarrollos de la llamada “revolución de abril” de 1846, un violento motín en el que tuvieron participación destacada numerosos soldados y milicianos vasco-franceses, orientales, libertos y miembros de la “emigración argentina”. El episodio, que inauguró una “carrera de los motines” que se prolongó por los dos años siguientes, sirve como un observatorio para explorar las bases sociales, prácticas y discursos de los partidos o facciones que operaban en ese momento dentro de la ciudad asediada y abre una ventana para abordar los vínculos permanentes entre milicia y política.
