Paz Pereira, the son of former Bolivian President Jaime Paz Zamora and Spaniard Carmen Pereira, was born in Santiago de Compostela. In an interview with EFE, the 49-year-old Paz Pereira said that Bolivia's political scene has been dominated by strong leaders for nearly a century. "Before and during democracy, political parties have coalesced around single leaders," he said. "Many people who are in the government today, or those who preceded them, do not understand what was required to build this democracy," Paz Pereira said. Paz Pereira became Tarija's mayor last year, defeating the candidate of President Evo Morales' leftist MAS party.
