Opponents sought the election authority to block this registration on the basis of the Constitution, which limits the amount of times that the first Presidents may be re-elected, and the outcome of the referendum of February 21, 2016, which rejected a reform proposed by the ruling and aimed at eliminating the constitutional limitation on re-election.
Two members of the Electoral Tribunal voted according to this argument, and against the registration of Morales and Garcia Linera. But other four vowels it authorized, which was rated by the main opposition candidate, former President Carlos Mesa, as “a wound of death to democracy”. Other opposition leaders spoke of a “coup d’Etat” institutional and the start of a “dictatorship” in Bolivia.

Several street protests and long-term marches are being conducted to reject that decision and tomorrow is called a work stoppage in major cities against the participation of Morales in an election in which – by what we know so far- He faces seven opponents fronts.
