María Josefina Bolívar (born 1975) is a Venezuelan politician and perennial candidate. She was presidential candidate twice for the United Democratic Party for Peace and Freedom (PDUPL) in the presidential elections of 2012 [1] and 2013. [2] She also ran for the same party in the regional elections of 2012 [3] [4] and was candidate for the mayoralty of Maracaibo in the municipal elections of 2013. [5] In 2015 she was nominated as candidate for the 4th circuit of Zulia State in the parliamentary elections, and in 2017 she stood as candidate for the Constituent National Assembly. [6]
Bolívar was born in Maturín and moved to Maracaibo with her parents. [7] She completed her elementary education in Fe y Alegría and the Epifanía School. [7] In 2002 she graduated from the University of Zulia as a lawyer. Years later she married Portuguese immigrant Mario Vieira, and together they opened the "Mayami" bakery in Maracaibo. [8]
In February 2012 she registered her candidacy for United Democratic Party for Peace and Freedom (PDUPL) for the 2012 presidential elections. [9] On 23 August 2012, during an interview for the news channel Globovisión, she gained notoriety for her inability to understand a question from journalist Aymara Lorenzo about how the candidate was going to control inflation in the country, as well as for her phrase dame una ayudaíta (give me a little help). [10] [11] [12] Bolívar finished in the fifth place in the elections, obtaining 7308 votes, 0.04% of the total. [13]
After the death of president Hugo Chávez and the announcement of new presidential elections on 14 April 2013, Bolívar confirmed her new candidacy for PDUPL for the presidency of Venezuela. [14] During her campaign, which started in Caracas, [15] her platform included access to foreign currency for all Venezuelans [16] and free education and other services. She denounced the "media war" waged by candidates Nicolás Maduro and Henrique Capriles. [17] Bolívar received 13 227 votes in the elections, 0.08% of the total, doubling her votes for the same position six months before and finishing in fourth place. [18]
On 12 October 2012 she registered her candidacy for the PDUPL for the regional elections held on 16 December 2012, [19] in which Bolívar competed against Pablo Pérez ( Democratic Unity Roundtable incumbent), Iris Rincón (candidate for NUVIPA) and Francisco Arias Cárdenas (candidate for the PSUV). [20] Bolívar again finished in fourth place, with 620 votes, 0.04% of the total. [21]
Bolívar announced in 2013, on the Zulian television channel Aventura Televisión, that she would run as a candidate again, this time for the mayoralty of Maracaibo. She obtained fourth place in the election with 1723 votes, 0.30% of the total. [22]
In 2015 the politician announced that she would run as PDUPL candidate for the National Assembly for circuit 4 of Zulia, which comprises the Venancio Pulgar, Idelfonso Vásquez, and Antonio Borjas Romero parishes of Maracaibo. [23]
María Bolívar pre-registered and was accepted by the National Electoral Council as a candidate for the 2017 Constituent National Assembly in the Banking-Commerce sector, declaring that we must not abandon "the spaces that open the way to the changes that Venezuelans are demanding". [24] [25]
