Doctrine — stated goals and content

De facto conservative transitional administration installed after Morales' November 2019 resignation, claiming constitutional succession through congressional vacancy. Stated doctrine: restore institutional order, hold clean elections, re-orient foreign policy westward (recognising Guaidó, withdrawing from ALBA/UNASUR, re-establishing ties with Israel and the US), and normalise relations with IMF — including a March 2020 USD 327m Rapid Financing Instrument loan during COVID, later cancelled by Arce as unconstitutional. Economic orientation was nominally market-liberal and FMI-normalising but was overwhelmed by COVID-19 response and by political violence: the Sacaba and Senkata massacres of November 2019 killed at least 22 MAS supporters. Áñez repeatedly postponed the election (originally May 2020, held Oct 2020) and Arce-MAS won decisively with 55.1%. Áñez and key ministers were later prosecuted; Áñez sentenced to 10 years in June 2022 on "violation of duties" / "decisions contrary to constitution" charges.
