He is the founder of MAS whose anniversary is regarding to be commemorated and President Arce has not invited him as founder of the party. What he has invented is to leave Bolivia ”.
For Ponce Vivanco, the former president is a “agitator” and Runasur, the project that also socialized in Peru, “It’s been a huge failure.” “Evo Morales wants figuration because it is losing more and more importance”he reiterated.
