Former Bolivian President Evo Morales has promised this Sunday that Bolivians will have the coronavirus vaccine for free if the candidate of his party, the Movement for Socialism, Luis Arce, wins the general elections on October 18.
“The State will guarantee free vaccine against Covid-19 to the 11 million inhabitants of the country with Luis Arce and will create the Pharmaceutical Company to produce, distribute and import medicines in alliances with Bolivian laboratories and pharmacies plus Russia, China, Cuba and the EU, “Morales said on Twitter.
On the other hand, he has ensured that it is the United States that has pushed the current self-proclaimed president of Bolivia, Jeanine Áñez, to announce the withdrawal of her presidential candidacy to facilitate the union of the right around the candidacy of Carlos Mesa.
“The line for Añez to resign his candidacy came from the United States to rally the right around Mesa, whom they need as a candidate to guarantee the impunity of the de facto government in the face of economicide, corruption and the dismantling of the State,” he said. Morales stated through his Twitter account.
In addition, she pointed out that Áñez has resigned due to external pressure without caring “to disappoint Bolivian women, their political allies, militants and candidates who stood up for her and sacrificed themselves for one of the worst governments in Bolivia.”
Lastly, he has called on voters to choose between nationalization of resources and privatization. “In Bolivia’s electoral race there are only two paths: the people will manage natural resources through the State, as proposed by Luis Arce and David Choquehuanca, or private ones through transnationals as proposed by the rest of the candidates,” he added.
Arce is the favorite for the presidential elections, although the question is whether he will achieve a sufficient majority to be elected in the first round. Arce could have more difficulties to prevail if he has to face in the second round against a candidate that brings together the parties opposed to the MAS.
