The Ministry of Presidency only reported that the new president had arrived at La Casa Grande del Pueblo, located in the historic center of La Paz, to start his activities. While outside were hundreds of followers from different regions for possession of the eve.

Leaders of social organizations and indigenous peoples of the Movement to Socialism (MAS), the party led by former member Evo Morales, publicly recommended Arce surround himself with “new people”, exclude the one who accompanied Morales and claimed dues for his loyalty. Arce noted yesterday that “We would have to have 149 ministries to fulfill the requests; everyone asks, the truth is that we have to be austere.” The representative has the challenge of reconciling Bolivians and rebuilding the economy that is going through the worst recession “in the last 40 years,” he said in his message in which he did not anticipate any plans. He warned, however, that he would resume the sterist model he underpinned as Morales’ economy minister for 12 when morales experienced annual growth rates of 4.9% on average.” I assume the presidency of the State with great humility, with great honor and with great gratitude for the trust placed in us. We will govern with responsibility and inclusion, representing them all,” he said yesterday during his speech.
