La limitación constitucional a la reelección de autoridades ejecutivas, su convencionalidad y legitimidad popular: una crítica a la sentencia del Tribunal Constitucional Plurinacional boliviano

Abstract

This article intends to show that an adequate interpretation of the American Convention on Human Rights, also known as the Pact of San José, by the Plurinational Constitutional Court of Bolivia on the re-election of national and subnational authorities, not only would implied the correct application of the Control of Conventionality, but also the creation of a fully compatible sentence with the popular decision expressed in the referendum of February 21, 2016, whose result was to reject the proposed amendment to the Bolivian Constitution in order to include a second re-election of the president and the vice president. Such a decision would have never caused a paradox between popular will (democracy) and conventionality (international human rights law) regarding this particular case.
