FUNCTIONAL OPPOSITION CANDIDATES BOOST VOTE-CATCHING DICTATORSHIP’S CANDIDACY IN BOLIVIA
In this model, Evo Morales has implemented the “vote-catching dictatorship” in Bolivia. He has conceptualized this electioneering dictatorship as “that political regime that by force or violence concentrates all political power into one person or group, crushes and suppresses human rights and basic freedoms and utilizes elections as a means of simulation and propaganda in order to indefinitely keep itself in power”. It is about controlled and manipulated elections.
