Arce and Evo look for their allies in Santa Cruz with gifts and criticism

In the last days, both looked for their allies in Santa Cruz. President Luis Arce arrived with a gift for the farmer women Bartolina Sisa as she laid the cornerstone for the construction of her new union headquarters. The start of the work, financed with public funds, was announced on Friday for the purpose of celebrating Mother’s Day.

“We have chosen this date in homage to the mother of Santa Cruz, to the cross-born bartolinas, to that feisty woman, to that mother who does double duty at home. With this work we seek to recognize that work, that effort of our women, mothers and bartolinas”, President Arce said at the event.

Shortly before, the Minister of the Presidency, María Nela Prada, who also participated in this act, assured that the Government belongs to the MAS and the social organizations. “We are masistas and although sometimes they do not want us to be here. We are going to be here because it is also our political instrument, it belongs to the people, it does not belong to anyone. Within the political instrument there are no owners either, there are no bosses”, stated Prada before the ‘Bartolinas’.

Instead, Evo Morales was yesterday with the representatives of organizations from the municipality of Yapacaní and the rest of the Ichilo province, all this in the context of a “congress for the unity of the MAS”. There they asked Evo to “save Bolivia” and the political leader announced that he does not intend to give up.

Deputy Daniel Rojas assured that the leadership of the MAS cannot be discussed and to support this appreciation he recalled the deterioration of political projects, now extinct, such as Conciencia de Patria (Condepa) and “even the MNR itself for lack of this leader.”

“Brother Evo. We need it. We need you to save Bolivia. We need our leader be the one who once again directs the course of our country”, affirmed the legislator amid harangues and applause from the bases that met in the Yapacaní coliseum. During the event they observed the performance of the economy and the signs of crisis.

Morales, for his part, made a presentation that lasted for just over an hour in which he referred to the political agenda that marked his coming to power and thus highlighted the nationalization of hydrocarbons. Previously, The ex-president questioned the size of the fuel subsidy which, each year, eats up more than $1,000 million.

But, already with an electoral perspective, the ex-president asked the mayors of his party to concentrate their support on the MAS as a factor of the “unity” of his movement.

But Evo Morales and Luis Arce are distant. The head of the MAS has a bench that supports him from the Legislative Assembly and the president has another group of loyal legislators who coordinate with him the approval of the legislative agenda. They do it every Wednesday in the Casa Grande del Pueblo.

“The problem is between those of us who are of conviction revolutionary and those who are of economic ambition or occasionno. Those of us who are of revolutionary conviction are going to continue fighting for the homeland. We are not going to give up, I am not going to give up, all for the country and for responsibility,” he harangued. Evo before his followers from Santa Cruz.

“If he is ‘evista’, patriotic and radical, even if he is a good worker, honest and committed, they fire him. If he is a ‘luchista’, even if he is involved in corruptionDon’t be a militant and protect drug trafficking, they reward you. It is not MAS-IPSP policy to reward treason and corruption, ”the former president later wrote on his Twitter account and with this he anticipated another scenario of internal confrontation.
