Jeanine Áñez, who has held the office of President with the support of a third of Parliament for a year, will not be presented. On 18 September, by means of a video, he stated that he did not want to divide the bloc facing the Socialists.
The socialist party Mas has closed its election campaign in the city of El Alto this Wednesday. "The people of Bolivia have demonstrated their strength, the people know exactly where we are going," said Luis Arce at a press conference.
In his words, the country is "without democracy", immersed in a "profound economic crisis". He has also claimed that when Evo Morales came to power the situation was the same and that he had been turned around. The President of the Generalitat has ensured that, if they come to power, they want to do the same.
The Pititas movement, which promoted protests and violence against Evo Morales, will reach the divided polling stations, as stated in this article of El País. On the one hand there are former right-wing President Carlos Mesa and, on the other hand, the far-right candidate Fernando Camacho.
It remains to be seen how it affects Evo Morales having suspended the elections he was about to win and having stopped the president for a crime of scam. Despite the fact that the major media did not echo much in Europe, MIT acknowledged several months later that it had not found any evidence that could make that serious accusation, as can be read in this New York Times news.
According to the law of Bolivia, there are two rounds in the elections, although the first round is enough for one of the candidates to win 40% of the votes and for the next candidate to get a 10-point lead.
