Former President Evo Morales urged his followers not to register with the party Frente Para la Victoria (FPV), despite having signed an agreement with that political organization. In his radio program, Morales stated that the agreement with the FPV is an "agreement" that only involves the temporary use of the party's acronym.
According to his words, the real plans for his presidential candidacy will be defined in the coming months. He also clarified that the FPV is only a borrowed acronym. This caused great confusion among his followers who were already preparing to do so.
This comment once again reflects the authoritarian and dictatorial character that many attribute to Morales. The former dictator has continuously demonstrated an ability to impose his will on his followers. On some occasions even forcing decisions that favor his personal political interests, regardless of the implications they may have for the country's democratic structure.
He also noted "On Wednesday of this coming week I have a meeting, I am talking by phone with some colleagues and we are going to plan and we are going to surprise the country. March 29, 30, and 31, 2025, will be historic."
The agreement with the FPV had been signed in February, although it was initially not detailed. It was established that Morales would be the only presidential candidate for the 2025 elections. The vice presidency would be decided later, but the important thing was that the former leader's leadership was assured.
In an even more curious twist, the news that Morales formally resigned from MAS on February 27 through a notarial power raised questions about the legality of the process. The notarial power is a procedure that should have been carried out personally before a public notary. But the former dictator obtained it without it being clarified how.
