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.

crucial point
"Toda la problemática de la llamada gobernabilidad que se encuentra tan de moda hoy en día, radica en última instancia en este punto nodal: la legitimidad de los gobiernos depende de la medida en que sean capaces de satisfacer las demandas de las mayorías de la población, pero, si no lo hacen, hay que prever conflictos y estallidos sociales que pondrán en peligro dicha [...]"
"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."

Spanish term (edited):
tienen su punto nodal
culminate in
I think this works nicely in the context. 'Culminate' implies reaching a peak, which is a kind of a point. In any case, the text is rhetorical and I don't think it's crucial to preserve the precise semantic meaning here. It's about a sweep of trends that come together and get reflected in the referendum.
