Resumen

A diferencia de la crisis política boliviana de 2006-2009, que ha dividido la historia del país en un antes (la era republicana) y un después (el estado plurinacional), la crisis de 2019 no se ha resuelto en un punto de inflexión. El regreso de la derecha al poder ha tenido una corta vida y la posterior victoria del MAS en las elecciones de 2020 no ha traído consigo un momento nuevo en el proceso revolucionario que el partido ha emprendido desde su llegada al poder en 2006. Asimismo, los problemas sociales que la crisis política del 19 sacó a la luz, lejos de resolverse, o al menos redefinirse, se mantienen o se han agravado. A esto cabe añadir nuevos problemas, como la notoria escasez de divisas, el aumento del déficit fiscal, la caída de la venta del gas y las divisiones al interior del MAS, entre otros. En este contexto, las alusiones al Proceso de Cambio parecen quedarse en la retórica y no se percibe en el gobierno actual una búsqueda por remediar el distanciamiento del gobierno de Evo Morales de la idea inicial del proyecto plurinacional. En este estado de las cosas, el periodo poscrisis parece ser también un momento de crisis que, cara a las elecciones de 2025, puede cristalizar en otra crisis política de, quizás, mayor envergadura que la del 19. Ante este panorama, la catástrofe de otra crisis política solo podría evitarse con la articulación de las organizaciones sociales –el pueblo en tanto sujeto político colectivo– y no así con el liderazgo del MAS. Por ello, un MAS visionario buscaría, con urgencia, franquear la distancia entre el líder y ese pueblo que, en 2020, consiguió defender en las urnas el proyecto plurinacional.
