We have uncertainty, absence of government and loss of sense of politics, the ideal ingredients for a perfect political storm. 


In the run-up to the August 17 general elections, more than a dozen presidential pre-candidates promise to solve the economic crisis and remove MAS from government.

Judicial elections do not arouse expectations because people are convinced that, whoever wins, justice won't be more competent, faster and more honest than before. Quite the contrary.

The complex situation in which the president finds himself, combined with a coup attempt with little chance of success led by a government ideologue, has generated doubts in certain sectors.

Every coup needs a certain degree of citizen approval to be successful, a minimum level of legitimacy that Zúñiga's move lacks.

The confrontation between Arce and Morales may be the beginning of a process of political reconfiguration that will make two factions of MAS appear as different political parties, in addition to another opposition party that will not be competitive.
