Yesterday, for the first time in a long time, I woke up to some good news.
The exit polls from Bolivia’s presidential election are in, and the results are inspiring: the current leader of Evo Morales’ Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) party, Luis Arce, won in the first round with more than 52 per cent of the vote. This means that if the official results are respected, Jeanine Áñez Chavez — who led the far-right, anti-Indigenous interim government that took power through a coup — will step down, and socialism will return to Bolivia.
