In La Paz, Bolivia, a backwards clock symbolizes the decline of the Movimiento al Socialismo (Mas) party during an economic crisis. As Bolivia prepares for presidential elections, Mas risks losing power after two decades. Current president Luis Arce, unable to seek re-election, has nominated Eduardo del Castillo, who polls below 3%, jeopardizing the party’s future electoral viability. Analysts express concerns that Mas could disappear as a political force entirely, reflecting the broader challenges faced in Bolivia’s governance and economy.
The clock atop the congressional palace has become an emblem of the decline of Morales's Movimiento al Socialismo party, symbolizing Bolivia's challenges amid its worst economic crisis in 40 years.
7.9 million Bolivians will vote for their next president, and the Mas party risks losing power after nearly 20 years, facing potential disappearance as a political entity.
Current president Luis Arce, having opted not to seek re-election, nominated 36-year-old Eduardo del Castillo, whose polling below 3% threatens Mas's future electoral eligibility.
Political analyst Gonzalo Chavez noted that Arce will be remembered as the president who 'buried the father' of the party and likely led it towards its demise.
