For the first time in almost two decades, Bolia is in the right position to the right.
Voters in South American country will be voted on August 17 to select the next president and Congress members.
But the differences between Bolivia’s long-strong left have opened the door to the victory of the potential right thinking. Professional Samuel Doria Madina and former president George “Tuto” Quiroga was the leading race.
In recent years, Bolvia has been disappointed with political and economic confusion, with high inflation and low -going currency reserves.
As a result, public dissatisfaction with the ruling movement for Socialism (MAS) has increased, which has been in power almost continuously since 2006. Candidates like Madina and Quiroga have expressed hope to capitalize on the campaign to remove the MAS from the presidency.
But the tension in the country is high and the vote shows the nearest race that cannot create a clear winner in the first round of voting.

The two candidates who have seen the two closely, however, are conservatively conservative.
They now seem to have success, this development underlines the once dull Bolivian left.
One of the candidates is a politician and a professional named Samuel Doria Madane. The entrepreneurs who have made their future in cement, are now a hotel and burgler King restaurant franchise in Bolivia.
In the 1990s 1990s, he also served as the Planning Minister under the leadership of President Jaam Paz Jhamana.
Founder of the Wright-of-Center National Unity Front, Medina has earlier made three failed attempts for the presidency: 1, 9 and 3 in in.
He may have to face his rigorous competition from Ran, right-wing George “Tuto” Quiroga.
Like Madina, Quiroga is three times before the Presidential candidate: 1 2005, 2 and 2 and 3. After being elected the youngest vice president in the country in 1997 1997, he was briefly over the presidency.
At that time, he shared tickets with former military dictator Hugo Banner in the country, whose government was related to the abuse of persecution and implementation in the 1970s.

What does the vote say?

In the meantime, Quiroga increased the vote by 16.6 to 22.9 percent.

What are the top points for voters?
In the cycle of this election, the cost of financial unrest in the country and the cost of living in the country is one of the highest-profile issues.
“Bolivia is experiencing the worst financial crisis in the generation,” said Gonzalez Kalen, an analyst of the International Crisis Group.
She pointed out that the national currency has lost more than half the value. Bolivia has extensive stores of natural gas and oil, while its production is confusing, which has created a financial deficiency.

The May survey shows that voters recognize the rising prices as their highest concern, followed by other economic issues such as fuel deficiency, dollar storage and unemployment.
Why are the current presidents not running?
President Louis Arse Declared He will not re -election in May, as a dispute with the financial crisis in the country and former guide Ivo Morales reduced their popularity.
The last month of the five -year period of Arses has been widely defined as confusion. In 223 and 224, the country saw its currency storage collapsed and it was disturbed by the natural gas industry.

In June 22, tension increased, when a general attacked the presidential palace and appeared to be trying to rebel. Arse blamed Morales supporters and Morales claimed that Arsa had rebelled to save its popularity.
What is the role of Evo Morala?
Bolivia’s election is remarkable for the absence of one of the most influential people in the country: MAS founder Evo Morale.
Morale as a three-dimensional president from FROM to 3 to 3 until, and the Latin American has become popular on the left and the Latin American on the left.
But in 2019, Morale discovered the fourth deadline in the office. Although the official results were won, Morales were forced to leave the country due to claims, threatening, threatening and molesting of votes.
Some have described his deportation as a rebellion run by military and political authority.
Morales could return to Bolivia when his Finance Minister, Arses was elected as the President of Arses.
But as a result of their opponent of the president, both of these leaders have come out, and Morale has crowded his supporters in a partition fractured on the left side of the Bolivian left.
In May, the Constitutional Court remains A decision Morales could not run again due to the extension of the deadline imposed since he left the office.
But Morales has put pressure on the fourth term, and they have called for their supporters to cast zero ballots to protest the Sunday elections.

Morales’ supporters have also led Demonstration As a protest against the exclusion of the former president from the elections. Some have blocked the roads. Others broke into the encounter and police and protesters died.
What is the presidential term?

It has become a source of construction for Morales, who made three consecutive terms and hope for the fourth.
Why is this election important?
Bolivia’s left is on the track for the first defeat in the presidential race for almost two decades. It will send a shockwave to the entire Latin America, where Bolvia has been the fort of left -wing for a long time in the 21st century.
Analyst Gonzalez Caleche said, “The left has become weakened by personal disputes between Morales and Arsees.
She made it clear that the labor unions and other left -leaning organizations struggle to join the candidate as they are struggling to get together.
With Excessive stressThe financial situation is deteriorating and any unified candidate to lead the country, Gonzalez Kalenta fears that Bolivia is going to the potential for the second round voting.
She said, “There is a very terrible economic situation, she has become worse due to social and political unrest,” she said. “This is a cycle that feeds itself.”
