The secretary general of the Bolivian Bishops’ Conference, Bishop Jesus Juarez, has called for an honest and respectful campaign season. He urged candidates to refrain from insults and from making campaign promises they are unable to keep.
“In a democratic electoral campaign,” he said, insults and mudslinging against political opponents must be avoided, because they harm the “dignity of each human being.”
