MAS tensions will build as Bolivia elections near

Friday, October 4, 2024

Significance

The situation follows a march on La Paz last month by Morales supporters demanding President Luis Arce’s resignation and the justice minister's resignation on September 26, which prompted a short-lived lull in hostilities.

Impacts

  • Morales’s mobilisation tactics could further damage his electoral appeal.
  • Arce will need to make clear soon whether he intends to stand.
  • Economic problems are set to deteriorate, further undermining support for the government.
