Creemos (lit.'We Believe') is a far-right[2][3] coalition consisting of the Solidarity Civic Unity (UCS) and Christian Democratic Party (PDC) in Bolivia.[5] 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).
