Analyst Carlos Toranzo pointed out that Evo Morales lost a lot with the march he led from Caracollo, as he no longer has the same level of support as in previous years. Paul Coca stated that the former president tried to show his “strength with the march,” but ended up losing credibility with the seven-day mobilization.

On Monday, the pro-Evo march, named “to save Bolivia,” concluded. It had started the previous Tuesday from Caracollo (Oruro), demanding the government address a 16-point list of grievances, including resolving the fuel and dollar shortages and approving the MAS congress in Lauca Ñ, where Morales was selected as the presidential candidate for 2025.

When Morales spoke at a rally to end the march, he surprisingly announced that he was returning to the tropics of Cochabamba to plant or harvest tambaquí, a type of fish, on his property. Later, pro-Evo and pro-Arce groups clashed in downtown La Paz.

“From a national perspective, he lost a lot; he doesn’t have the same level of support as before. He failed in his goal to put Andrónico in the presidential seat,” Toranzo said.

Coca warned that “Morales tried to show strength, but he loses more credibility with the public, as he appears to be a leader who doesn’t understand that his time has passed, and that he is disqualified from running for president in 2025.”

However, Toranzo emphasized that Morales’ march no longer holds the same power, noting that “his movement is weakened and is now mostly limited to Chapare and some Potosí ayllus, but across the country, he is rejected.”

Coca added that what happened on Monday, along with the “inactions” of Luis Arce’s government, served the MAS by focusing attention on Morales and Arce, distracting from the country’s ongoing issues.

“Meanwhile, this serves the MAS in three ways: a) It shifts attention away from the opposition, focusing only on this issue; b) It positions Morales and Arce in the public eye, ensuring the country talks only about them; c) It has acted as a perfect smokescreen to divert attention from important economic, political, social, and legal issues, like the dollar shortage, the economic crisis, and the Census results,” Coca explained.
