Bolivian Senator Faces Calls for Resignation Amidst Ethical Concerns LA PAZ, BOLIVIA – Pressure is mounting on Andrónico Rodríguez, the President of the Bolivian Senate, to resign from his post and relinquish his membership in the Movement for Socialism (MAS-IPSP) party. The calls for his resignation come from within the political sphere, with several lawmakers citing ethical concerns arising from his concurrent candidacy for the presidency with the Alianza Popular and his involvement with the Movimiento Tercer Sistema (MTS). "By ethics, he should resign," stated Ninoska Morales, a Bolivian deputy, in an interview featured in a recent BOLIVIA TV news report. Morales emphasized that Rodríguez's participation in MTS, a separate political movement, presents a conflict of interest given his leadership role within the MAS-IPSP. The report also highlighted concerns about the potential impact of Rodríguez's actions on the stability of the Bolivian government and the upcoming elections. The video footage shows scenes from the Bolivian Senate, alongside interviews with those calling for Rodríguez's resignation.
