Abstract
There has always been a confusion according to the Bolivian legal doctrine about the real duration of the Presidential office and the possibility of a sine tempore re-election. In April 2013 and in November 2017, the Bolivian Tribunal Constitucional Plurinacional(TCP) struck down any limit on Presidential re-election, in order to preserve the fundamental right to vote, according to the system of the Interamerican Convention of human rights. In December 2018, even the Tribunal Supremo Electoral(TSE) admitted the re-elegibility of President Morales, being able him to run for the primaries on January 2019. It possibly clears the way to a dangerous contra constitutioneminterpretation in contrast with political and democratic stability in the State.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
