Since the return of the Movimiento al Socialismo at the hands of Arce, the party has been increasing its authoritarian power, affecting the entire system including the judiciary, political pluralism and the absence of institutional containment, understood as the rules of game that allow the development and strengthening of democracy. The autocratic advance is the order of the day.
