addition to losing the referendum approving the Santa Cruz autonomy statute, the president, Evo Morales and the Movement Toward Socialism (MAS) were postponed in math because if we apply the "equation MAS" a the election results 2005 general result that 70% of the electorate had "voted against" the current President of the Republic and had obtained only 30% of the votes, the result of the sum of the abstention rate in these elections (15.49%) blank and null votes (7.37%) and votes for other candidates (46.26%). tax attitude of the government also wants to stamp out the math, forcing an addition with skewed data, it is disseminated through print requested in noting that "50% of Santa Cruz has told no status ", a phrase coined based on the sum of: abstention (39%) NO votes (9%) and blank and null votes (2%).
In the 25 years of democracy in Bolivia and general elections conducted from 1980 through 2005, the statistical records of the National Electoral Court (CNE) has never included the abstention rate in the final summation of the results of each of the seven elections held to the present.
Bolivian electoral statistics in the abstention rate, ie, people who did not go to vote, we consider only as part of all citizens registered in the electoral roll, but logical and obviously those who did not go to vote no can be part of the "votes cast" as the government says.
So abstention does not mean an endorsement of the YES or the NO or a particular candidate, as there are many reasons why a citizen decides not to go to vote. Similarly, one can not consider the white vote as pro-and anti-SI NO, because they express a disagreement and / or rejection of the two alternatives offered in the referendum, the same applies to spoiled ballots.
Applying the "MAS equation" in the elections of 2005, including votes for candidates other than Evo Morales, he had just gained the support of 30.88% of the electorate.
With this "calculation" and taking as reference the percentages of the seven elections he has faced Bolivia for 25 years, the percentages of "rejection" of the then elected presidents have been irrational
- In 1980, Hernán Siles Suazo had assumed the presidency having to 98.54% of electorate against.
- In 1985, Victor Paz Estenssoro assumed the presidency would have to 98.18% of voters opposed.
- In 1989, Jaime Paz Zamora assumed the presidency would have to 110.85% of the electorate against it.
- In 1993, Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada assumed the presidency would have to 97.17% of the electorate against it.
- In 1997, Hugo Banzer Smith would have assumed the presidency having at 112.59% of the electorate against it.
- In 2002, Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada assumed the presidency would have to 112.66% of the electorate against it.
- In 2005, Evo Morales assumed the presidency would have to 69.12% of voters opposed.
The concern of this exercise simple ill-posed, is that advisers to President Morales also willing to cheat to nine million Bolivians demonstrate how you lie to the Chief Executive and it is alone, without any official to guide him properly .
Ministers and advisers from the Chief Executive can not appeased, calm and take a breath before giving a terrible message to the nation, which lacks lights, push him to commit more errors of assessment and simple logic, arithmetic addition of a schoolboy corrected.
not otherwise understand that neither the Minister of the Presidency, the new spokesman of the Presidency, nor the government minister that day gave at least two press conferences, give face to expose nonsense size evening broadcast Sunday 4 from the Government Palace, with consequent damage to political and economic governance to the state.
We thought that with the resignation of former spokesman Alex Contreras would stop the lies to the Chief Executive and the country, but it seems the government environment makes superhuman efforts to erode the President Evo Morales, an attitude on which he should demand explanations from their immediate colleagues.
