Bolivian Rector Calls for Political Renewal Amidst Election

Bolivia's Elections: A Call for Renewal and Ideological Debate Santa Cruz, Bolivia – May 14, 2025 – Vicente Cuéllar, rector of the Gabriel René Moreno Autonomous University (UAGRM), shared his perspective on the ongoing Bolivian elections. He noted a trend of older politicians retiring from the political scene, suggesting a potential for renewal. However, Cuéllar expressed concern over the lack of substantive political and ideological debate. "Many parliamentarians," he stated, "use media outlets not for discussion, but for aggression." Cuéllar's comments highlight a critical need for better preparation and training for those entering parliament. He emphasized the importance of capacity building to ensure effective representation of the Bolivian people. His call for more meaningful political discourse underscores the challenges facing Bolivia's evolving political landscape. The hope is for a future with more informed and engaged political participation.
