BOLIVIA: Morales celebrates 13 years in power
Bolivia’s president Evo Morales celebrated the 13th anniversary of his electoral triumph in 2005 on 18 December with a gathering of his party, Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) in a sports arena in Quillacollo, near the central city of Cochabamba. Morales announced to his supporters his aim to win 70% of the vote in the 2019 presidential elections, and called upon them to entice back those who have distanced themselves from the MAS. The celebration was another iteration of the gatherings that have become familiar during Morales’s time in office, with large blue banners emblazoned with the MAS logo, representatives of the social movements affiliated with the party, traditional music, and indigenous people in traditional dress.
