Bolivian Election Body Holds Session in Santa Cruz, Defying Threats

Santa Cruz Hosts Unexpected TSE Session Amidst Prior Threats The Bolivian Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) made the surprising decision to hold a plenary session in Santa Cruz on Friday, June 6th, 2025. This deviates from their usual La Paz headquarters. A TSE vocal member, Francisco Vargas, addressed concerns about potential pressure or threats influencing this choice. In an interview with Unitel, Vargas stated, "The Supreme Electoral Tribunal has its own voice; it will not be an instrument of any type of polarization." He clarified that the decision to convene in Santa Cruz was made by the plenary session itself, emphasizing the TSE's autonomy and independence in its decision-making process. The session's location underscores the TSE's commitment to conducting its affairs transparently and independently, despite any external pressures. The move to Santa Cruz is seen by some as a bold step to ensure impartiality in the lead up to the 2025 national elections.
