Rodrigo Paz: MAS Reinventing Candidate Amidst Fractured Opposition in Bolivia

In a recent broadcast by eju.tv, Rodrigo Paz, a presidential candidate representing the PDC, offered a critical assessment of Bolivia's political environment. Paz stated that the Movement for Socialism (MAS) party is actively working to 'reinvent a candidate,' while simultaneously, the opposition factions are 'gouging each other's eyes out,' indicating severe internal divisions. Paz expressed concern over the state of the nation's political class, asserting that they have 'shattered the economy' and are leaving the country in its 'worst moment.' He further criticized their approach, noting that instead of focusing on substantive proposals, both sides are primarily engaged in attacks. According to Paz, this strategy of mutual attack is what political actors believe will secure popular votes, rather than offering genuine solutions to the country's challenges.
