The fourth national poll of voting intentions, presented by EL DEBER and prepared by the specialized firm Spie SRL, marks a turning point in the presidential race: Jorge "Tuto" Quiroga moves into first place in public preference and, for the first time in this series of public perception studies, surpasses Samuel Doria Medina.

Bolivia goes to the polls on the 17th. This will be the first round for President (with the top two going into a run-off), and also the election of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate. Currently, the President is socialist-left and both houses are controlled by the socialist-left.

After twenty years of socialist-left government, the country has fallen apart. It is pretty clear that, in the upcoming election, the people of Bolivia will reject the socialist-left and choose a new way forward. This is because both of the leading candidates for President are center-right candidates, and there is a big gap between them and the third-place candidate.

To quote Javier Millei, ¡Viva la libertad, carajo! (or, long live freedom, damn it)

In South America, center-right means the candidate has never been a member of the local Communist Party.

let’s hope, the leftists are honest enough to respect the results?!

Very rare occurrence, commies usually like to stay in power forever!
