Áñez was the second Vice-President of the Senate when, on 12 November 2019, he assumed the Interim Presidency two days after the launch of President Evo Morales Sucas.
That year, despite the Constitution barring him from running again, Morales sought a fourth term, claiming to be a “right man”. A blackout during the vote was followed by the results showing him as the winner. The country erupted in violent protests, and Morales resigned and fled to Mexico.
Supporters of Bolivia’s first indigenous president immediately asserted power in a coup – a perception reinforced by the initial scheduling of early elections for May, citing the covid-19 pandemic.
His interim government was also marked by protests that were met with fierce resistance by the police and army who declared “systematic suffering” and “Systematic Executions” of more than 20 protesters.
At first he stood as a candidate in the 2020 election but, the polling was not good, which came from the race, which finally won the current President, Arce.
In June 2022, Áñez was sentenced to 10 years in prison for allegedly placing himself illegally on the constitutional line. But on Thursday, the Supreme Court announced the ruling, which did not declare that it was invalid but “a constitutional requirement preserved by the Bolivian Persitutional Continuity”.
