Nine years passed since February 21, 2016, when the constitutional referendum was carried out in which the Bolivians expressed the decision not to allow the opening of the Constitution for Evo Morales to access new re -election. At that time, the 2019 manipulated elections left so much social discomfort that the then Cocalero president had to resign, upon evidence that there was a fraudulent intervention in the elections to favor it and that it is eternalized in power.
The 21-F date was historic and became a milestone for Bolivians. The citizen protest showed that democracy was weakened, death wound, and people (mostly young) took to the streets to prevent their death. Nine years later, on the same date, a Congress of Socialism Movement without Evo Morales will be held. The once ‘owner’ of that party was outside and now the acronym is from his former allies and now political adversaries.
Nine years later the country saw that Evo Morales did not cease in the effort to return to power in Bolivia. Without the MAS, he now looked for the Victoria front and convinced his leadership to give him the acronym so that he can apply for the presidency of the country. He already has a party, but he is not certain, because his qualification as a presidential candidate depends on the Supreme Electoral Court.
The Front for Victory is a acronym observed by the Supreme Electoral Court and is pending that it presents discharges of the observations it has. That means that the participation of this acronym in the elections is still uncertain. Evo Morales weighs complaints of stupro and even a pressing order has been fought against him, but no one enforces her. At the same time, Evo Morales has pending accounts with justice; particularly in the syndro union, which is to have romance with minor teenagers.
During the last year, the Bolivia agenda was political and focused on the internal fight of socialism movement: Evo Morales versus Luis Arce, and vice versa. The political agenda concentrated on the struggle and all government policies revolved on that topic without anyone changing.
And it is that democracy is deteriorated. Bolivia has no institutionality. Therefore, under the auspices of the Supreme Electoral Court, political parties with the endorsement of the State, members of the Executive Power, Legislative and Electoral Power. They assumed 15 commitments to shield the elections (only expression of democracy). All expressed their will to approve laws that arm the electoral process next August. They shake hands and swearing to defend the system. But so far there is no date for the treatment and approval of these legal mechanisms.
What has been intended from the electoral organ? That the principle of preclusion is respected and that the process is not interfered with by other powers of the State. That the parties give resources in favor of the transmission of electoral results, that the national vowels of the TSE enjoy the case of a cut and that nobody can be pressed by pressing them with threat of jail. One of the most significant commitments is the review and correction of the electoral roll that will be delivered (after more than a decade) to the parties that participate in the elections. And they also swore to approve that the debates are mandatory.
Nine years after the citizens took to the streets to defend democracy, politicians are challenged to give the size and fulfill the commitments assumed, because the elections are not armored as long as they do not. It is a challenge for the powers of the State and also for the population that knows that he has in his hands the power to press so that nothing or anyone interferes with his vote and the presidential succession established by the Constitution.
