Creemos (lit. 'We Believe') is a far-right[9][10] coalition consisting of the Solidarity Civic Unity (UCS) and Christian Democratic Party (PDC) in Bolivia.[12] It was previously an alliance, which fielded Luis Fernando Camacho as its candidate for president during the 2020 Bolivian general election where he garnered 14% of the vote.

Santa Cruz is also where the headquarters of the main right-wing political alliance — the 'We Believe' coalition (Creemos, in Spanish) — is located. Meanwhile, La Paz, the administrative capital of the country, tends to lean towards left-wing parties, including MAS and the 'Civic Community' coalition (Comunidad Ciudadana, in Spanish).

O elemento religioso também foi mobilizado na conjuntura do golpe e pode ser observado tanto nas intervenções públicas da presidente interina Jeanine Áñez, que empunhou uma Bíblia de grandes dimensões e bradou "De volta ao Palácio" , quanto no discurso de Luís Fernando Camacho, principal liderança do movimento neofascista, que ingressou no Palácio Quemado, fez toda uma performance ao se ajoelhar diante de um exemplar da bíblia posto em cima da bandeira boliviana e postou um vídeo no Twitter um dia após a renúncia forçada de Morales com o seguinte pronunciamento: "Não derrubamos governos, libertamos um povo de fé. Somente foi levada uma Bíblia ao Palácio.
[The religious element was also mobilized in the conjunction of the coup and can be observed both in the public interventions of interim president Jeanine áñez, who wielded a large-scale Bible and bradou “from back to the palace”, as well as in the speech by Luís Fernando Camacho, main leader of the neo-fascist movement, who entered the burned palace, fez todo a performance ao se ajoelhar diante of an exemplar of the biblia posted on top of the Bolivian band and posted a video on Twitter one day after the forced resignation of morals with the following pronouncement: “We do not derrubamos governos, we liberamos a povo de fé. A Bible was only brought to the Palace.] - ^ "Bolivian Opposition Arrives in Washington on 'Human Rights' Trip". Kawsachun News. 20 April 2021. Retrieved 22 February 2025.

Derecha fascista y regionalista: tiene elementos similares a la trumpista o la bolsonarista, sobre todo en la utilización de símbolos religiosos y un discurso intolerante (racista, misógino, antidemocrático y secesionista). Está liderada por Luis Fernando Camacho, gobernador del departamento de Santa Cruz y artífice del golpe de Estado de 2019. Durante el paro por el censo no logró convencer a otros alcaldes o gobernadores de irradiar nacionalmente el conflicto.
[Fascist and regionalist right: it has elements similar to those of the Trumpist or Bolsonarist movements, especially in the use of religious symbols and an intolerant discourse (racist, misogynist, anti-democratic and secessionist). It is led by Luis Fernando Camacho, governor of the department of Santa Cruz and architect of the 2019 coup d'état. During the census strike, he failed to convince other mayors or governors to broadcast the conflict nationally.] - ^ [2][3][4]

Creemos fue la plataforma política de Fernando Camacho para su candidatura a la presidencia en 2020 y a la gobernación de Santa Cruz, que ganó, en 2021. Con un perfil regionalista más fuerte y escorado a la extrema derecha, absorbió el espacio electoral de Demócratas y cooptó buena parte de su estructura partidista. Entrevista con Jordana Middagh.

La renuncia de Jeanine Añez a su candidatura para la presidencia del Estado en las elecciones de 2020 dejó en carrera —además del MAS— a dos agrupaciones polı́ticas de la oposición: el partido conservador CREEMOS, del caudillo cruceño Luis Fernando Camacho, y a la alianza centrista Comunidad Ciudadana, que habı́a recibido 36,5% de los votos en las elecciones de 2019 y cuyo candidato, el historiador Carlos Mesa, fue el principal perjudicado por el fraude electoral, pues tenı́a altas probabilidades de ganar a Evo Morales en la segunda vuelta electoral.

El gobernador Camacho pidió a asambleístas de su partido, el conservador y liberal Creemos, y a asambleístas de la también opositora Comunidad Ciudadana (CC) de Carlos Mesa, que acepten la Ley que fija el censo para 2024, porque si la norma se rechazaba en la sesión de la Cámara de Diputados convocada para el 24 no se iba a poder presentar otro proyecto.
[Governor Camacho asked assembly members from his party, the conservative and liberal Creemos, and assembly members from the also opposition Comunidad Ciudadana (CC) of Carlos Mesa, to accept the Law that sets the census for 2024, because if the norm was rejected in the session of the Chamber of Deputies called for the 24th, another project would not be able to be presented.] - ^ a b Molina, Fernando; Manetto, Francesco (18 October 2020).
