Luis Arce was inaugurated as Bolivia's president on Sunday, returning the socialist back into power. This comes after the previous long-term leader Evo Morales was ousted from power last year. Arce was sworn in by David Choquehuanca, the president of Bolivia's Legislative Assembly. The ceremony was attended by several leaders of the region including the King of Spain and the presidents of Paraguay, Argentina, and Colombia. Morales did not attend the ceremony but is expected to return to Bolivia Monday. Tensions have remained high over changes made by the Bolivian Congress to lower the majority needed to pass new laws. As economy minister, Arce promoted nationalizing strategic sectors such as hydrocarbons and energy, and pushed domestic production with public investments and subsidies.
