Tension in Bolivia as Morales issues 24-hour ultimatum to Arce government
Ex-President Evo Morales leads protest march against the government of his one-time ally Luis Arce, demanding changes.
Not sure what to make of this
You're viewing a single thread.
Update from Evo: Former President Evo Morales clarified that it was a mistake to speak at the rally of the march about a 24 hour deadline to the government. He said that on Thursday new measures against the government of President Luis Arce will be defined.
Evo demands are for Arce to accept Evo back into MAS, somehow convince or force the Bolivian Supreme Court to let Evo ran for president a Fourth (Third if you don't count the 2019 election) time. Remove all "narcos" from the Bolivian goverment (probably replace this people with Evo loyalists).
all of this could have been prevented if Evo had picked a successor, i dont see the supreme court changing its mind anytime soon
I thought Arce was kicked out of MAS
Evo kicked him out, but the same day he kicked Evo out of MAS. Let me explain this better, Evo invited Arce, and his VP, to a party meeting. Arce and his VP didn't go, Evo used that to say that Arce and his VP are no longer members of MAS because they didn't go to the meeting, and on the same meeting they kicked out 28 MAS MPs and voted Evo as the 2025 presidential candidate.
Evo said that Arce and the Arcists weren't kicked out but rather resigned from their party membership because they didn't go to the party meeting. Arce said that was bullshit and kicked Evo out of the party, the party split into two, but the two parts claim to be the same party and vote together against the right-wing parties but they have different presidential candidates for the 2025 elections.
The funniest thing is had the USSR and communism won in the 20th century, stuff would have been better but there would have been of lot of this situation and Nepals, across the globe. Multiple socialist parties calling each other liberal opportunists.
Yep. As soon as the first pink tide started in Latin America, the socdem/demsoc parties that won the elections immediatly began having infighting and splited into more parties (mostly because all these parties had many factions inside it, be it pro-soviet, pro-china, trot, hoxhists, anarchists, liberals, pro-native, pro-military, etc...). I think what he would have seen a lot if the Soviets had won, is a bunch of moderate conservatives and liberals change to more leftist politics and ally with left-wing parties, like what happened in Honduras.
that sounds like an absolute nightmare for the electoral authorities
Iirc The Supreme Court of Bolivia recognizes Arce as the MAS presidential candidate and his MP as the leader of MAS, but they also recognizes Evo as a member of MAS just not the leader, and he can't be a presidential candidate because he has reached the term limit in Bolivia.
