La Paz, August 4 (RHC)-- The Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) of Bolivia, presided over by former President Evo Morales, held an internal congress on Wednesday to define the direction of the ruling party for the next few years.

The venue of the meeting was a town in the tropical region of the department of Cochabamba, which is considered the main political stronghold of the party to which the president of the country, Luis Arce, also belongs.

Evo Morales had announced that the meeting would serve to adapt the statutes to the norms of the Electoral Tribunal and to improve the disciplinary regulations against transfuguism and treason, among other issues.

Likewise, the results achieved in the departmental elections of the Andean nation were analyzed, where the MAS retains the departments of Cochabamba, Oruro and Potosí, but lost at the polls in La Paz, Chiquisaca, Tarija and Pando.

Representatives of popular social organizations articulated by the Unity Pact, which brings together peasant and workers sectors such as mining and oil workers, as well as Indigenous people related to MAS, also took part in the meeting.

The events that occurred in 2019 and 2020 after the coup d'état against Evo Morales encouraged within MAS internal debates on the need for renewal, a context in which Evo Morales has reaffirmed the unity of the political instrument with which they managed to win the 2020 elections.

The congress was preceded by tours and meetings of Evo Morales in several regions of the country.
