Luis Arce with political and governmental power; Evo Morales with political and social power; the Unity Pact as a mass force converted into an electoral force It is the trilogy that today governs Bolivia, This is how the political moment in the country was described by the former Vice President, Álvaro García Linera.
“On this basis there is a social and political leader, Evo Morales; there is a political and government leader, Luis Arce; and, in this triangle, together with social organizations, there has to be a set of joints, not always easy”, described the former Vice President of Evo Morales.
This Sunday, the Argentine radio AM/750 published an interview with the former vice president and the central axis of the talk was the situation in Bolivia and the influence of Evo Morales in the Government.
Influence that seems deteriorated by the events of January and February. In the first month of the Morales year promoted a campaign precisely with the social movements of the unity pact to change some ministers who collaborate with Arce, the change never took place and the cabinet remains intact.
In the week that concludes, the board of the Bolivian Workers Central (COB) convened an ‘extended’ in the Pandina city of Cobija and in that meeting the current executive secretary, Juan Carlos Huarachi managed to be ratified in the position for another two years. . This Sunday it became known that Evo Morales tried to veto that expansion and was unsuccessful. The event had the support of the Government of Luis Arce because it was attended by the Minister of Labor, Verónica Navia, who delivered a decree signed by Arce.
“Our political process has a characteristic that is the power of indigenous, peasant and neighborhood social organizations. It is a power that the people conquered on the basis of insurrections. This discourse of competitive individualism is broken with the emergence of the collective, of the plebeian. And the virtue of this social empowerment of social organizations is that they convert their mass force into an electoral force”graphed García Linera.
Throughout the published interview, the role of the current Vice President, David Choquehuanca, and his influence on the indigenous movements of the West are not mentioned.. Both Evo Morales and Álvaro García disqualified Choquehuanca’s proposals that seeks political renewal within the MAS and constantly mentions the insurgency of the new leaders that this party must have.
On this point, García Linera said that the new generations of political leaders in the MAS they must learn to live with the presence and under the shadow of Evo Morales because its influence is decisive in social organizations.
“The new leaders that are emerging have to understand that. There may be new government political leaders with all the legitimacy in the world, but there is a historical social leadership that will accompany” and immediately clarified, “it will not be a hindrance or a dispute. It is going to accompany those political leaderships ”, he advanced.
The former vice president said that the power of the organizations is definitive because they are the ones that will define the future of the MAS that condition the entire functioning of this political structure. “Anything that is going to happen in the MAS, who will be the future candidate, how will the current president be, is always in connection with these organizations. This process of change has that quality. It must exist as long as there is political strength of the social movements. It’s going to be weak when those movements fragment or implode,” he said.
