Bolivian elections confirm the return of the left to Latin America and the increase in Chinese influence at the expense of the United States

London – “Al-Quds Al-Arabi”:

The Movement for Socialism won the first round of the presidential elections that took place last Sunday in Bolivia, which are unusual elections because they confirm the return of the left to the Latin American region and the retreat of the right, and with it the return of the Sino-Russian conflict with the United States.

Bolivia witnessed presidential elections on October 20 of last year, which resulted in President Evo Morales winning the first round, but the elections were questioned and he was exposed to a real coup by the currents of the army, with the Christian right and with strong support from the United States. The matter ended with the appointment of a parliamentarian, Jeanine Agnes, as interim president, and Morales took refuge in Mexico and Argentina.

The “Movement for Socialism” party has been subjected to judicial and security processes, which caused an organizational weakening, but without weakening its strong presence among the majority of the Bolivian people. After a year of confrontations and maneuvers, last Sunday the presidential and legislative elections were held, with a turnout of 87%, which is one of the highest in the world, and ended with the victory of the “Movement for Socialism” in the presidency represented by Louis Arsi in the first round and in the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Political analysts in Latin America confirm that this victory confirms the legitimacy of Evo Morales’s victory in the presidential elections last year and the absence of fraud in the elections, while the coup against legitimacy was planned by national and international organizations. led by the Organization of American States that questioned the elections and legitimized the coup, and it turned out later. His report was false and he was upset with the facts.

There are two factors behind the triumph of the Movement for Socialism in the presidency and the Senate and the Deputies, and the first is evidenced by what analyst Figmar Vargas considers that “the Bolivian vote for Louis Arce is a vote for the economic and social model built by the socialist president Morales ”. While the second factor is the awareness of the people about the need for the return of the socialists to avoid the privatization (privatization) of the country’s wealth, be it social services such as water and electricity or natural resources such as gas and precious metals.

The victory of the Movement for Socialism in the presidential elections marks a strong return of the left to Latin America after having suffered a temporary setback during the last five years. With this, the central states of the region have become aware of Argentina, then Mexico, where the left rules for the first time, and the left government continues in Venezuela and now Bolivia, while countries under the rule of the right are going through problems, namely Chile and Brazil.

At the international level, the United States is considered the loser in the Bolivian elections due to the lack of success in its efforts to expel the left from power in the region, while the victory represents Oxygina before the economic and political influence of China. as well as from Russia.
