THE Movement Towards Socialism’s (MAS) victory in Bolivia’s presidential election, the first held since a military-led coup ousted legitimate President Evo Morales last November, offers a new way forward for the country out of the nightmare of the last year.
Under the coup regime led by Jeanine Anez, a wave of human-rights abuses took place, targeting trade unionists, indigenous activists and MAS supporters, with large-scale violation of people’s rights and the loss of lives.
The decisive scale of the victory, in which MAS candidate Luis Arce secured 55 per cent of the votes against the 29 per cent of his nearest challenger, former president Carlos Mesa, meant that no second-round run-off was required.
