Introduction

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, Bolivians worldwide. Welcome to The Bunker. This weekend, we met with activists to organize the third citizen primaries, a grassroots effort to unify Bolivia’s opposition and select a single candidate to challenge the Movement Toward Socialism (MAS) in the August 17, 2025, elections. These primaries are exclusively for opposition candidates, excluding the current government and political figures who have held power over the past 20 years, despite the MAS’s division into three factions: arcista (Luis Arce), evista (Evo Morales), and Andrónico Rodríguez’s Movimiento Tercer Sistema. We invite everyone to join from their phones, sharing information and mobilizing voters to achieve 1 million votes and make history in seven days. Contact us at 76809175 to become an activist. Don’t give up—together, we can change Bolivia!

Organization of the Third Citizen Primaries

The primaries aim to select a unified opposition candidate, explicitly excluding MAS and its affiliates, regardless of their internal splits. Details include:

• Date and Deadline: Candidate registration closes on Monday, May 19, at midnight. Voting runs from Tuesday, May 20, to Monday, May 26, at noon (6 days: May 20-26).

• Confirmed Opposition Candidates: Five candidates are confirmed, all from opposition parties unaffiliated with the government or past MAS leadership:

• Manfred Reyes Villa

• Tuto Quiroga

• Samuel Doria Medina

• Rodrigo Paz

• Jaime Dun

• Pending Candidate: The ADN party may field a candidate, potentially bringing the total to six opposition candidates. ADN must participate to retain its legal status, unlike MNR, which secured mayoralties in 2021.

• Exclusion of MAS and Affiliates: The primaries exclude:

• MAS (arcista faction): Likely nominating Luis Arce and Daisy Choque.

• MAS (evista faction): Led by Evo Morales, confined to the Cochabamba tropics.

• Movimiento Tercer Sistema: Potentially led by Andrónico Rodríguez, a former MAS figure now distancing himself but still tied to the ruling party’s legacy.

• Other parties like UCS (Johnny Fernández) and Morena, which may align with MAS factions, are also excluded.

• Elimination Schedule:

• May 20-26: 6 candidates reduced to 5.

• June 10-16: 5 candidates reduced to 4.

• June 24-30: 4 candidates reduced to 3.

• July 8-14: 3 candidates reduced to 2.

• July 21-28: 2 candidates reduced to 1, with the unified opposition candidate announced on July 28.

• Goal: By July 28, Bolivia will have a single opposition candidate, with 20 days to rally support before the elections, free from the influence of the MAS’s 20-year dominance.

Call for Opposition Unity

The Bunker emphasizes uniting the opposition, as current candidates act independently, weakening their chances against the segmented MAS:

• Current Division: Opposition leaders (Manfred, Tuto, Samuel, etc.) build separate lists, ignoring the need for a united front.

• MAS’s Fragmentation: Despite its division into arcista, evista, and Andrónico-led factions, the MAS remains a formidable force, using judicial tactics to disqualify rivals (e.g., Evo’s TCP inhabilitation, challenges to UCS).

• Bunker’s Strategy: The primaries will force unity. With 1 million votes, opposition politicians must accept the winner, with losers taking roles like vice president or congressional leaders.

• Activist Roles: 5,000 activists are needed globally to:

• Create WhatsApp broadcast lists to share information.

• Call contacts to promote participation.

• Distribute QR codes and voting links in communities.

• Assist non-tech-savvy voters.

Criticism of Polls and Media

The Bunker denounces manipulated polls and limited media coverage, which often favor MAS factions:

• Deceptive Polls: In 2019, Los Tiempos polls boosted Andrónico (23%) despite his obscurity, a tactic repeated for Arce. These polls mislead voters about MAS strength.

• Media Barriers: The Bunker gets little TV, newspaper, or social media exposure, as outlets see them as competitors. Activists are crucial for outreach.

• Solution: “Polls no, primaries yes.” The primaries reflect the true opposition will, untainted by MAS propaganda.

Allegations Against MAS and Chapare Activities

The Bunker exposed illicit MAS activities in the Chapare, underscoring why MAS factions are excluded:

• Clandestine Operations: A video revealed cocalero leaders intercepting a plane dropping leaflets, admitting to:

• Clandestine airstrips in Chimoré.

• Federation-owned planes, separate from the intercepted one.

• Mobilization of “15 centrals” to track the pilot.

• Implications: These unregistered airstrips and planes allegedly support drug and money trafficking, funding MAS campaigns. The Bunker questions the Armed Forces’ inaction.

• MAS Tactics: The arcista faction uses judicial power to disqualify rivals (e.g., Andrónico’s domestic violence case), while manipulating UCS and Morena to fragment opposition votes.

Political Renewal and Critique

The Bunker calls for a new opposition, free from past MAS influence:

• No Re-election: Current parliamentarians, including those tied to MAS’s 20-year rule, should not run again. Example: A Tarija opposition deputy defected to MAS.

• Single-Term Limits: All elected officials should serve once, preventing career politicians.

• Fresh Faces: Opposition parties need new candidates with experience but no ties to MAS’s legacy, carefully vetted to avoid betrayals.

Social and Economic Crisis

The Bunker warned of Bolivia’s crisis, exacerbated by MAS governance:

• Fuel Shortages: Cochabamba’s transport sector faces gasoline and gas restrictions, with bureaucratic limits resembling Cuba’s system.

• Inflation: The dollar exceeds 15 bolivianos, potentially reaching 20 by the election and 40-50 by year-end, driven by MAS’s unchecked money printing.

• Food Scarcity: Basic goods will dwindle without producer support (biotechnology, fuel, exports).

• MAS Manipulation: The arcista faction buys votes with cash, staging rallies with recycled officials.

Social Project: Potosí Boarding School

The Bunker supports a crumbling boarding school in Potosí, contrasting with MAS’s neglect:

• Conditions: The Eusebio Baltazar Flores school’s kitchen, serving 40 children, has a collapsing roof, broken windows, and minimal equipment.

• Plan: Rebuild with parental labor and donated materials (cement, bricks). Food (rice, noodles, oil) will be sent from Tarija or elsewhere.

• Call to Action: Donate materials or food via 76809175.

• Impact: Children (aged 6-7) thanked prior donations, and The Bunker aims for a dignified kitchen.

Electoral Oversight

The Bunker is ensuring fair elections, independent of MAS influence:

• Efforts: Collaborating with tech groups and opposition parties for polling station delegates.

• Publication: The third volume of Documented Destruction of Bolivia (400 pages) will expose MAS frauds, available 45 days before the election.

• Join: Send name, city, and polling station to 76809175.

Conclusion and Call to Action

The Bunker fights for an opposition free from MAS’s 20-year grip, promoting unity and renewal. The primaries are a historic chance to choose a candidate untainted by arcista, evista, or Andrónico-led factions.
