The Spin

Pro-government narrative

Arce's decision to withdraw from the race represents a strategic move to preserve the unity of Bolivia's left-wing movement and protect the social-economic gains achieved over the past decades. A divided left would only serve to benefit right-wing forces seeking to dismantle the "plurinational" state and its progressive policies. The focus must now be on rallying behind a single candidate who can continue the revolutionary project.

Opposition narrative

The current administration's economic mismanagement has led to unprecedented challenges, with foreign currency shortages, fuel scarcity, and rising inflation devastating the working class. The people's mandate remains clear in supporting leadership that previously delivered prosperity and social progress, making artificial term limits an undemocratic obstacle to the will of the majority.
