  • The Bolivian president proposed a national agreement transcending political parties.
  • The goal is to sustain state reforms and uphold principles of integrity and diligence.
  • The president criticized past administrations for only paying lip service to these ideals.

Bolivian President Luis Arce has put forth a proposal for a national agreement designed to unite the country beyond partisan politics and solidify ongoing state reforms. He envisions a pact that transcends the divisions between political parties, aiming to create a unified front for the nation's progress and the continuation of essential state reforms.

Arce specifically targeted the governments of the Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) party, accusing them of failing to implement core principles. He stated that while the MAS espoused ideals of "not to steal, not to lie, and not to be lazy," these principles remained mere rhetoric rather than actionable policies during their tenure.

The president's call for a broad-based accord suggests a desire to foster a sense of national unity and shared purpose. By emphasizing the need to sustain reforms and uphold foundational values, Arce seeks to establish a framework for governance that prioritizes integrity and diligence, moving beyond the perceived shortcomings of previous administrations.
