36 years ago the extinct businessman, Max Fernández Rojas, presented himself to the general elections of 1989 by the hand of Bolivian Socialist Falange (FSB), but the disagreements of that time caused Fernández Rojas to retire alone from the elections and announcing the zero vote request for FSB in those elections. It is the closest antecedent on the null vote that Evistes proposes today.
“The pact illustrated the decline of that party, not only because of the dissidents it produced: before a political alliance was a ‘rent’ of the acronym and the agreement did not survive the play of the leaders of FSB that, at the time of registering parliamentary lists, relegated Fernández’s supporters And they gave the best places to their militants, ”says the“ Biographical Dictionary of Parliamentarians 1979-2019 ”, by the former president of the Supreme Electoral Court, Salvador Romero.
Product of that ‘play’ of FSB, Max Fernández asked to retire from the contest and said he would go ‘door by door’ to ask for the null vote. YoNince said he would claim the presidency if they exceeded the valid votes.
This Monday, Evotes reissued that strategy of 36 years ago and instructed the candidates who intended to apply for a seat in the Parliament to open ‘campaign houses’ to promote the null vote.
Deputy Freddy Mamani said the candidates of the most arcist and popular alliance of Andrónico Rodríguez, They reached the rural area indicating that an agreement with the Evista current had already been closed To go in a joint alliance, for that reason, he said, the opening of the campaign houses was decided.
Did Max Fernández achieve his goal? History says yes because FSB achieved a discreet ninth place of 10 games that participated in those elections and achieved 0.75% of the electorate, compared to 25.64% of the winner of that contest.
