Evo Morales, the former president of Bolivia, has warned that there will be a “convulsion” in the country if his presidential candidacy for the 2025 elections is disqualified. Morales blamed the government of Luis Arce for any potential unrest, despite both belonging to the same party. In an interview with the EFE agency, Morales stated that if he is disqualified, there will be consequences and any resulting turmoil would be the responsibility of the government.
Morales believes that the only way to win this struggle is through mass action and has heard that various sectors anticipate difficulties if his candidacy is annulled. The possibility of disqualifying his candidacy arose after a ruling by the Constitutional Court last year, which stated that indefinite reelection is not a human right and can only be applied once, continuously or discontinuously. Morales maintains that he is legally and constitutionally enabled to be a candidate, as confirmed by consultations with national and international experts.
The ruling party, the Movement Towards Socialism (MAS), celebrates its 29th anniversary with two separate events this year. The ‘arcista’ bloc, supporting President Luis Arce, celebrated in La Paz while the ‘evista’ wing aligned with Morales held a celebration in Yapacaní. Tensions between the two factions were evident at their anniversary event last year when Morales questioned Arce’s achievements and Arce advocated for pluralism of ideas within MAS.
Morales criticized Arce administration for not fulfilling mandates to hold coup plotters accountable in aftermath of 2019 crisis led to his resignation and exile. He condemns what he sees as deviation from party’s anti-imperialist tradition and accuses government of offering bribes to officials to distance themselves from MAS. The rift within MAS extends to legality of congress re-elected him as sole candidate for 2025 elections where pro-government sectors called for new congress.
