Is Bolivia near the precipice?
The Government of Añez is not qualifiable to argue that Bolivia was taken into bankruptcy, just as this Government (Añez) was not constituted by angels either, however, saddle it with the economic or health disaster is clearly politicking, with a clear objective, the disappearance of the State as we conceptually know it, by a territory harshly subjugated under a legal system, disguised, by a degraded and impoverished paralegal and pseudo-justice system, based on terror, manipulation and everything that is based on extraction and extortion of the scarce social-economic base, of the one who falls in the sights as an objective.
If this paragraph contains the truth as a hypothetical basis, it means that the path of the State’s disappearance that we know, torn, beaten, decontextualized, and philosophically shattered will continue; [they] will continue to approve laws such as the anti-terrorism law or the illicit enrichment law, [thus] individualizing people considered enemies of the State; or laws such as the health law, to import foreign health providers (which seems more like political control), or proprietary registry laws to be able to assault that citizen who, as a result of his effort, was a prolific/talented entrepreneur, who generated a profit, and, surely, also generated employment, paid taxes, and provided contributions to the State and society.
Let’s see a very small historical account (for those young people who only knew the face of a president for 14 years), bonanza due to a law promulgated by a non-MAS congressman, H. Hormando Vaca Diez. Results obtained by the beneficiary Government of Evo Morales, non-productive spending, useless to list the State companies in deficit or bankruptcy… they are all [bankrupted]; soccer fields as an emblem of bad State spending versus the need for health [infrastructure].
A great disservice to Bolivians was the political calculation of Añez’s nomination, it is evident that beyond the infringement of her rights, she has her own historical framework of responsibility. But, returning to the constructive base of society, it is time to summon the agreement of all the opposition political forces, of those young people with no opportunity in the Movement Towards Socialism (MAS), of those used as a staircase to support the Government party, of those who realize the lie and believe the truth. It is the moment of the legacy of the young people, for those experienced politicians, for those who still believe in the homeland, for those who suffered for Bolivia and should not leave it without fighting the opportunity for personal, political, collective, constructive, interrogative vindication, but mostly patriotic.
It must be understood that after 14 years of government, many or few want to overlook this issue, [it is a] mistake… to consider that in 1, 2, or 3 years this will pass and a new political, social and economic scenario of free thought and free electoral competition will be created… [it is a] mistake [to believe] that polarization will disappear… [it is a] mistake. Just as these preconceptions are clear and indisputable objectives, we young people call on young people, because Bolivia will not fall to the precipice! That they took away the opportunities… enough, but take away our hope…, when will the autocratic leadership fall due to their chaotic chronology… never.
Today the political opposition has an unquestionable responsibility, to unite and be rebellious, for that well-known speech that was once publicly shouted, a better Bolivia for our children and for their children.
It is certain that the one who takes the first step towards this unification will achieve the Bolivian historical and democratic renewal.
