Bolivian Political Figure Defiantly Predicts 20 Years of Rule Following Party's Legal Status Revocation La Paz, Bolivia – In a dramatic press conference on June 5th, 2025, Ruth Nina of the PAN-BOL party declared that her party's recent loss of legal status would not prevent them from governing Bolivia for the next 20 years.
