The Democratically elected Supreme Court of Bolivia agreeing with Evo's argument that Constitutional term limits don't apply retroactively is clearly the definition of Dictatorial.
Oh what the tyranny of the majority elected supreme court siding with the tyranny of the majority elected official, surprise surprise. Just sounds like some dictatorship of the prole masses if you ask me.
I wish Bolivia Supreme Court was more like America's, where 51 people alone get to decide at anytime who will get a lifetime appointment to the second most powerful position in Government.
it means if someone has been in office for say 3 terms and then there's a law saying a person can only have 2 terms then the 3 terms before the law was passed don't count and that someone can still do 2 more terms
my comment is hard to process in one sentence so here's a timeline:
a person serves 3 terms
a term limit law is passed
first 3 terms don't count so the person still gets to stay for 2 more terms

What do you mean retroactively?

yea and it's basic sense that laws should not and cannot criminalize past behavior.
Were the term limits enacted AFTER Morales went in government?
Yes
