BOLIVIA: New law on political parties proves contentious
Bolivia’s legislature, which is controlled by the ruling Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS), has approved a new law on political parties and organisations. While the MAS government led by President Evo Morales claims that the new legislation will “strengthen democracy” ahead of the October 2019 general elections, opposition leaders such as former president Carlos Mesa (2003-2005) warned that it was designed to confer credibility on Morales’ controversial bid to run again.
