00:00The President of Bolivia, Luis Arce, denounced on Tuesday through his Telegram account the
00:04attempts aimed at undermining the process of the next general elections on August 17th.
00:10The Bolivian President stated that the government denounces the political intentions to affect
00:15the participation of movement for socialism and other political organizations in the upcoming
00:21general elections with the presentation of complaints to the electoral regime and constitutional
00:27actions.
00:28Likewise, he stressed that they called for the state bodies to act in compliance with
00:32their constitutional functions with full independence.
00:42As of yesterday, a very important stage in the democratic life of our country has culminated,
00:49which is the registration of candidacies to face, to be willing to face also many groups
00:56that are trying to destabilize and do not want the elections to take place.
01:02We regret this position and we are sure that with the understanding of the Bolivian people,
01:08we are sure that with the collaboration and support of the Bolivian people, which we have
01:13always felt in each of these stages of our government, we will once again move forward and we will
01:19democratically consolidate the electoral solution next August.
01:27In this context, the indigenous leader and Bolivian former President Evo Morales took to
01:31social media to denounce the decision and stated, given the serious risk that diplomacy faces today and
01:38the real threat of excluding the indigenous peasant and popular movements from the elections, I call
01:44the Bolivian people to a great national reunion. It is time to unite to confront
01:49the real enemies of the country, the economic crisis and the abuse of power.
02:01On Monday, the Bolivian Supreme Electoral Tribunal registered nine candidates for the Presidency
02:06and Vice Presidency of the State. At least six of them are already confirmed with their documentation.
02:12Once the deadline is over, the Supreme Electoral Tribunal begins to review which of the candidates
02:17fulfill all the requirements. It is expected that on June 6, the official list of the candidates
02:23qualified for the presidential race will be known. The electoral body pointed out that
02:28the organization of the leader Evo Pueblo nor the Bolivian National Action Party can register
02:35candidates for not having an acronym with legal status. On the other hand, the popular alliance
02:41of AndrĂłnico RodrĂguez and Mariana Prado must wait for the decision of the first constitutional
02:46court of Bani, which instructed the tribunal not to enable the candidacies due to the problems
02:52of the third system movement.
02:59You will remember that afternoon we informed that the third system movement, and the alliance,
03:10which was formed, the popular alliance has already registered candidates in the system,
03:16and that the reception of documents was pending, which has been processed according to the procedure
03:23established for this process of registration of candidacies. What has the full court determined?
03:30To comply with the precautionary measure. Therefore, the receipt of lists, and documents, that has
03:38been received is being held in abeyance, until the constitutional chamber of the Bani court, decides,
03:45what, corresponds, at the hearing of May 21.
