Experts tell TRT World that Bolivia’s different ‘sociopolitical visions’ have propelled Evo Morales’ political party, a phenomenon which could remarkably shape the country’s politics ahead of the 2025

"There are no individual rifts between Morales and Luis Arce," Jhohan Oporto PhD, professor at the Universidad Mayor de San Simon, Cochabamba in Bolivia tells TRT World. In 2019, despite Bolivia’s constitution stating a president can only serve two consecutive terms, Morales made a bid for a fourth consecutive term as the country’s leader.
After assuming power, Anez called the security forces to restore order with the post-election conflict resulting in around 35 deaths and has since faced accusations of" “Morales was president of Bolivia for more than a decade, one of the longest-serving presidents in Bolivian history. He also ran for four consecutive terms, despite a constitution that limited presidents to two terms in office,” Miguel Centellas, Croft Instructional Associate Professor of Sociology & International Studies at the University of Mississippi tells TRT World.
During his presidential tenure, Morales nationalised gas and oil sectors, adopting market friendly policies while amid high commodity prices, the State invested in social welfare programs, raising more than a million out of poverty.Yet in October 2020, after assuming office, President Arce appeared to float another vision with a different role for Morales while acknowledging him as an “undisputed and historic leader” who has led a process of change and been an international leader.
In the last two decades the MAS-IPSP has"monopolised” political discussions in Bolivia, explains Oporto, describing politics outside of the sociopolitical movement as largely"peripheral," particularly relating to alternative discussions beyond a plurinational state, nationalisation, industrialisation.
