Ruth Nina's Election Comments Spark Political Outcry in Bolivia La Paz, Bolivia – Recent statements by Ruth Nina regarding the upcoming 2025 elections have ignited a political firestorm in Bolivia, drawing sharp criticism from both government and opposition factions. Nina initially suggested that the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) might "count dead people" during the elections, a remark that has since been widely condemned. Following the backlash, Ruth Nina has clarified her position, asserting that her comments were misinterpreted. However, this explanation has not appeased her critics. José Ormachea, an opposition deputy from Comunidad Ciudadana (CC), stated, "There is no excuse; she has to take responsibility for what she says and what she does." Ormachea further emphasized that Nina would be held accountable for any potential repercussions stemming from her words. Conversely, Gladys Quispe, a deputy from the Movimiento Al Socialismo (MAS) 'evista' faction, indicated that Nina's controversial remarks were made "at a personal level." Quispe reiterated that individuals are responsible for their own actions and statements. Despite this, officialists and opposition members alike are demanding legal proceedings against Nina, citing her statements as an electoral threat. The controversy underscores the heightened political tensions surrounding the lead-up to the 2025 elections.
