Failed refoundation of the State – MAS – Fallida refundación del Estado

Renzo Abruzzese, El Deber:

What has remained standing?

A latest survey by Jubileo, (an institution whose seriousness and professionalism are beyond doubt) reveals the degree of social and political decomposition to which the 17 years of masista governments have led us. Some results of this study will illustrate us better. Let’s see: 63% of Bolivians believe that “democracy” as it is does not provide tranquility, security or optimism. Only 12% believe that human rights are guaranteed in Bolivia. 61% believe that freedom of expression is not guaranteed, 73% do not believe that all citizens receive the same treatment before the Law, only 11% believe that the masista regime acts with absolute respect for the Constitution and the Laws and 71% consider that government management is not transparent. 69% assure that the government is incapable and deficient when it comes to resolving conflicts, only 15% believe that the government successfully manages the economic crisis, 53% believe the opposite, 72% consider that public corruption is not drastically sanctioned , 70% believe that the fight against drug trafficking is a failure, 75% do not trust the justice system and 73% do not trust the police either. Only 27% believe that the COB defends the workers and 29% that the CSUTCB fights for the peasants, to which is added that 70% of Bolivians consider that the parties and their leaders need to be renewed. Added to this is the degree of deinstitutionalization of all democratic structures, the takeover of all levels of the State, the forced suppression of the vast majority of independent media, corruption, prebendalism and the dirty work of their shock troops. The corporatization of citizen institutions and the rule of mafia power that is progressively taking over the country. The open impunity, the subjugation of rural private property, the penetration of drug trafficking into key instances of the State and the total loss of a historical path that allows us to glimpse a less uncertain future. After this disastrous picture, one wonders what was left standing. What has not been devastated by the Masista experiment, their dalliances and that drunkenness of power that made them squander 50 billion dollars.​

The disapproval reaches so many aspects of government management and instances of the State, that one ends up with the impression that it (the State) has turned against the people and that the MAS has an unforgivable enemy in every citizen who does not think like it.

Sociologists say that the social fabric and its consistency are possible through the action of social institutions, thus, if the family as a social institution deteriorates, the whole of society deteriorates, well, in the failed attempt to refound the State The MAS undertook the systematic task of pulverizing the republican and democratic institutions and rebuilding it under the plurinational sign which, as we know, turned out to be a failure, in other words, the spoils that it administers today are the corpse of its political project and that is expressed in the majority rejection of its management. The result of this progressive deterioration has resulted in a lying and dark regime that has turned post-truth into a strategy of domination. What is no longer in doubt is that it is getting closer and closer to that “socialist” model in which small leaders appropriate the mechanisms of Power to subjugate entire societies, dictatorships like Nicaragua, Cuba or Venezuela, which remains to be seen. is whether the Bolivian people will submit.
