A year ago the last elections were annulled and Evo Morales forced to leave power by a movement of social revolt.
One of the leaders of this movement is today the third man in the elections behind Luis Arce, the dolphin of Evo Morales and the centrist Carlos Mesa.

He says.
Many young people
At the foot of the truck many young people.
Many were there a year ago when Luis Fernando Camacho called for a street uprising to successfully remove Evo Morales from power.
And, among the faithful demonstrators there is Natalia, 20: “
We all know this is the best.
He made thousands of people rise up before God and before everyone else.
He is our leader.
"
Faced with those who accuse Camacho of being too conservative, a new Bolsonaro, Marta, a lawyer, in her fifties responds: “
We are no longer afraid of anything.
Because with all that we have been through, all that we are going through not to mention the pandemic.
What more fear could we have.
And then the commitments he made are very clear, he saw how we got the last leader out;
we could do the same if not worse.
"
Candidate for rupture
