Bertha Beatriz Acarapi (born 7 June 1971) is a Bolivian politician and former television presenter serving as a party-list member of the Chamber of Deputies from La Paz since 2020. A member of the Movement for Socialism, she previously served as an El Alto municipal councillor from 2000 to 2004 on behalf of the Revolutionary Left Movement and from 2004 to 2010 on behalf of Plan Progress for Bolivia. During her second term, she served as president of the El Alto Municipal Council from 2006 to 2007, becoming the first woman to assume that post. Outside of politics, Acarapi's lengthy career in radio and television journalism led her to join ATB in 2015, becoming one of the country's first high-profile chola indigenous presenters.

Prior to her birth, Acarapi's father was conscripted into the Armed Forces, never to return, and presumed dead by her mother. As such, Acarapi's grandfather, a farmer from Tacacoma, served as her primary paternal figure. "He always told me: 'you have to be honest', 'you have to be hard-working', 'you don't have to be vindictive'", she recalled.{{Cite news |date=16 July 2018 |title='Cuando estoy en pantallas dejo atrás alegrías y penas' |language=es |work=Página Siete |publication-place=La Paz |url=https://www.paginasiete.bo/especial01/2018/7/16/cuando-estoy-en-pantallas-dejo-atras-alegrias-penas-186941.html |url-status=dead |access-date=6 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180720135533/https://www.paginasiete.bo/especial01/2018/7/16/cuando-estoy-en-pantallas-dejo-atras-alegrias-penas-186941.html |archive-date=20 July 2018}}{{Cite news |last=Flores M. |first=Alcides |date=3 November 2021 |title=Bertha Acarapi se paseó por el mundo y los medios de comunicación, ahora es política |language=es |work=Página Siete |publication-place=La Paz |url=https://www.paginasiete.bo/nacional/2021/11/3/bertha-acarapi-se-paseo-por-el-mundo-los-medios-de-comunicacion-ahora-es-politica-314053.html |url-status=dead |access-date=6 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211103143009/https://www.paginasiete.bo/nacional/2021/11/3/bertha-acarapi-se-paseo-por-el-mundo-los-medios-de-comunicacion-ahora-es-politica-314053.html |archive-date=3 November 2021 |quote=Él siempre me decía 'hay que ser honestos', 'hay que ser trabajadores', 'no hay que ser vengativos', recuerda Bertha Acarapi{{nbsp}}...}} Through him, Acarapi learned to speak the Aymara language, in which she is fluent.{{sfn|Tejiendo Bolivia|2014|loc=0:54–2:51}} Acarapi became active in local community leadership from age nine, accompanying her grandmother to neighborhood council meetings, where she assisted in their activities.{{sfn|Tejiendo Bolivia|2014|loc=8:30–10:30}} She studied at the Juan Capriles School, primarily taking night classes as her mornings were spent helping her mother to sew and sell produce, while in the afternoon, she worked as an office assistant and school secretary.{{Cite news |last=Flores M. |first=Alcides |date=3 November 2021 |title=Bertha Acarapi se paseó por el mundo y los medios de comunicación, ahora es política |language=es |work=Página Siete |publication-place=La Paz |url=https://www.paginasiete.bo/nacional/2021/11/3/bertha-acarapi-se-paseo-por-el-mundo-los-medios-de-comunicacion-ahora-es-politica-314053.html |url-status=dead |access-date=6 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211103143009/https://www.paginasiete.bo/nacional/2021/11/3/bertha-acarapi-se-paseo-por-el-mundo-los-medios-de-comunicacion-ahora-es-politica-314053.html |archive-date=3 November 2021}} Later, Acarapi attended the Higher University of San Andrés, where she studied social work. Additionally, she holds several diplomas in political journalism, psychopedagogy, and diplomacy, as well as a master's degree in decentralization and public management.{{Cite news |date=30 August 2015 |title=Bertha Acarapi: 'Soy comunicadora de oficio' |language=es |work=El Diario |publication-place=La Paz |url=https://www.pub.eldiario.net/noticias/2015/2015_08/nt150830/laguia.php?n=17&-bertha-acarapi |access-date=6 June 2022 }}
= Radio and television career =
At the behest of a friend, in 1992, Acarapi enlisted to compete in the Cholita Alteña beauty contest, emerging as the competition's elected winner. The position granted Acarapi the opportunity to launch a career in local broadcast journalism, joining Radio San Gabriel before moving on to work as an announcer for Radio Sol and Radio Chuquiago. In addition, she lent her voice to a variety of commercials produced by the National Telecommunications Company, ENTEL. Later in 1992, Acarapi made the jump to television, hosting the program De Cara al Pueblo on Channel 24, then owned by the Alteño politician José Luis Paredes.
= El Alto municipal councillor =
Through her connection with Paredes, Acarapi was nominated by the Revolutionary Left Movement (MIR) to stand for office as a councillor for El Alto in the 1999 municipal elections. That year, significant popular support for Paredes' mayoral campaign allowed the MIR to win the city by a substantial plurality—almost forty-six percent—electing seven of the city's eleven councillors and dethroning the until-then dominant Conscience of Fatherland.{{sfn|Opiniones y Análisis|2000|pp=84–85}} Acarapi and her fellow MIR compatriots were subsequently sworn in on 5 February 2000.{{Cite news |date=3 February 2000 |title=El Alto: Miristas preparan la llegada del nuevo alcalde |language=es |agency=Agencia de Noticias Fides |publication-place=La Paz |url=https://www.noticiasfides.com/nacional/sociedad/el-alto-240673 |url-status=live |access-date=7 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220607221623/https://www.noticiasfides.com/nacional/sociedad/el-alto-240673 |archive-date=7 June 2022 |quote=Para el sábado 5, la Corte Superior de Distrito de la ciudad de El Alto posesionará a los nuevos concejales.}} Despite her election as a member of the MIR, Acarapi later broke with the party, citing party leader Jaime Paz Zamora's decision to support President Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada following the government's violent suppression of protesters in El Alto during the October 2003 gas conflict.{{sfn|Tejiendo Bolivia|2014|loc=35:25–36:57}} In conjunction with other councillors, she joined Plan Progress for Bolivia (PP), the organization formed by Mayor Paredes, who also split with the MIR prior to his second mayoral bid. In the 2004 municipal elections, Acarapi successfully sought reelection on PP's electoral list, joining eight ex-Miristas on a municipal council that lacked any MIR presence for the first time in its eighteen years of existence.{{Cite web |date=8 December 2004 |title=Conozca a los 11 concejales alteños |url=https://www.bolivia.com/noticias/AutoNoticias/DetalleNoticia24034.asp |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050404083455/http://www.bolivia.com/noticias/AutoNoticias/DetalleNoticia24034.asp |archive-date=4 April 2005 |access-date=7 June 2022 |website=bolivia.com |publisher=La Razón |language=es |publication-place=La Paz}}{{Cite web |date=6 December 2004 |title=El Alto tendrá a José Luis Paredes otros cinco años |url=https://www.bolivia.com/noticias/AutoNoticias/DetalleNoticia23988.asp |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061115005003/https://www.bolivia.com/noticias/AutoNoticias/DetalleNoticia23988.asp |archive-date=15 November 2006 |access-date=7 June 2022 |website=bolivia.com |publisher=La Razón |language=es |publication-place=La Paz}} Two years later, she was unanimously elected to replace six-year incumbent Marcelo Vásquez as the president of the municipal council.

In entertainment, Acarapi held a modest career as a theatre and film actress, participating as an extra in multiple movies directed by Jorge Sanjinés and starring in the film 1808 (2019). In 2016, she performed in the play El Sueño de Raymundo at an event in Viacha. In modeling, Acarapi was a participant in 2018's Bolivia Moda fashion show.

In the leadup to the 2019 general elections, President Evo Morales invited Acarapi to run for a seat in the Chamber of Deputies on behalf of the Movement for Socialism (MAS-IPSP). After some consideration, Acarapi accepted the nomination, stating that it "[was an] opportunity to work for my city".{{sfn|Palenque|2021|loc=6:39–8:04}} In July, she formally resigned from her post at ATB to campaign for the second seat on the MAS's list of candidates for La Paz. Acarapi's candidacy was the source of some contention among different MAS-affiliated groups in El Alto, who criticized her for having previously belonged to "a neoliberal party".{{Cite news |date=5 August 2019 |title=Acarapi borra sus datos en las redes sociales |language=es |work=El Alteño |url=http://www.elalteno.com.bo/ciudad/20190805/acarapi-borra-sus-datos-en-las-redes-sociales |url-status=live |access-date=7 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190907222023/http://www.elalteno.com.bo/ciudad/20190805/acarapi-borra-sus-datos-en-las-redes-sociales |archive-date=7 September 2019}}{{Cite news |date=18 July 2019 |title=El Alto: Cuestionan candidatura de Bertha Acapari y rechazan lista de postulantes del MAS |language=es |agency=Agencia de Noticias Fides |publication-place=El Alto |url=https://www.noticiasfides.com/nacional/politica/el-alto-cuestionan-candidatura-de-bertha-acapari-y-rechazan-lista-de-postulantes-por-el-mas-399232 |url-status=live |url-access=subscription |access-date=7 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191129072813/https://www.noticiasfides.com/nacional/politica/el-alto-cuestionan-candidatura-de-bertha-acapari-y-rechazan-lista-de-postulantes-por-el-mas-399232 |archive-date=29 November 2019}} Notwithstanding, the MAS won the election in the La Paz Department, attaining 53.16 percent of the popular vote.{{Cite news |date=23 October 2019 |title=Concluye el cómputo oficial en La Paz y Beni se queda en el 99,69% |language=es |work=Correo del Sur |publication-place=Sucre |url=https://correodelsur.com/politica/20191023_concluye-el-computo-oficial-en-la-paz-y-beni-se-queda-en-el-99-69.html |url-status=live |access-date=1 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200927030119/https://correodelsur.com/politica/20191023_concluye-el-computo-oficial-en-la-paz-y-beni-se-queda-en-el-99-69.html |archive-date=27 September 2020}} However, broader accusations of electoral fraud resulted in nationwide social unrest, culminating in the resignation of Morales and the annulment of the election results.{{Cite news |date=24 November 2019 |title=Crisis en Bolivia: la presidenta interina Jeanine Áñez promulga la ley para convocar nuevas elecciones sin Evo Morales como candidato |language=es |work=BBC Mundo |publication-place=London |url=https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-america-latina-50534426 |url-status=live |access-date=5 February 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220205230710/https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-america-latina-50534426 |archive-date=5 February 2022}} Amid continued protests, Acarapi and her family were forced to flee their home on one accusation, fearing a violent lynching that ultimately never came to pass.{{sfn|Palenque|2021|loc=29:50–31:49}} Even so, she returned as a candidate in the snap 2020 elections, emerging victorious in her second campaign.{{sfn|Palenque|2021|loc=46:56–49:48}}

As a deputy, Acarapi primarily focused her work on El Alto, even installing her office in the city, seeking to serve as a "nexus between the central government and neighborhood organizations".{{Cite news |last=Flores M. |first=Alcides |date=3 November 2021 |title=Bertha Acarapi se paseó por el mundo y los medios de comunicación, ahora es política |language=es |work=Página Siete |publication-place=La Paz |url=https://www.paginasiete.bo/nacional/2021/11/3/bertha-acarapi-se-paseo-por-el-mundo-los-medios-de-comunicacion-ahora-es-politica-314053.html |url-status=dead |access-date=6 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211103143009/https://www.paginasiete.bo/nacional/2021/11/3/bertha-acarapi-se-paseo-por-el-mundo-los-medios-de-comunicacion-ahora-es-politica-314053.html |archive-date=3 November 2021 |quote=Quiero ser ese nexo entre el Gobierno central y las organizaciones de vecinos. }} Another core issue of her tenure revolved around women's rights in the country, particularly concerning the issue of femicide. In October 2021, Acarapi pointed out that less than six months since taking office, four municipal councillors in La Paz Department alone had resigned after suffering harassment, while a further ten reported enduring similar experiences.{{Cite web |date=14 October 2021 |title=Cuatro concejalas renunciaron a sus cargos por acoso y violencia política y otras diez atraviesan situaciones similares |url=https://diputados.gob.bo/noticias/cuatro-concejalas-renunciaron-a-sus-cargos-por-acoso-y-violencia-politica-y-otras-diez-atraviesan-situaciones-similares/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220620230857/https://diputados.gob.bo/noticias/cuatro-concejalas-renunciaron-a-sus-cargos-por-acoso-y-violencia-politica-y-otras-diez-atraviesan-situaciones-similares/ |archive-date=20 June 2022 |access-date=20 June 2022 |website=diputados.gob.bo |publisher=Chamber of Deputies |language=es |publication-place=La Paz}} The deputy blamed a lack of compliance with and enforcement of Law N° 348—which ostensibly guarantees women's political rights—for these continued occurrences.{{Cite web |date=19 November 2020 |title=Diputada Acarapi lamenta hechos de violencia contra la mujer en pleno Siglo XXI |url=https://diputados.gob.bo/noticias/diputada-acarapi-lamenta-hechos-de-violencia-contra-la-mujer-en-pleno-siglo-xxi/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220620231041/https://diputados.gob.bo/noticias/diputada-acarapi-lamenta-hechos-de-violencia-contra-la-mujer-en-pleno-siglo-xxi/ |archive-date=20 June 2022 |access-date=20 June 2022 |website=diputados.gob.bo |publisher=Chamber of Deputies |language=es |publication-place=La Paz}}{{Cite web |date=26 November 2020 |title=Acarapi convoca a la unidad y reafirma lucha contra la violencia hacia la mujer |url=https://diputados.gob.bo/noticias/acarapi-convoca-a-la-unidad-y-reafirma-lucha-contra-la-violencia-hacia-la-mujer/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220620231216/https://diputados.gob.bo/noticias/acarapi-convoca-a-la-unidad-y-reafirma-lucha-contra-la-violencia-hacia-la-mujer/ |archive-date=20 June 2022 |access-date=20 June 2022 |website=diputados.gob.bo |publisher=Chamber of Deputies |language=es |publication-place=La Paz}} As a member of the Association of Councilwomen of La Paz, Acarapi suggested the convocation of a national summit of women in government aimed at constructing public policies that would defend women's rights.{{Cite web |date=19 February 2022 |title=Diputada Acarapi plantea cumbre nacional de mujeres autoridades para perfilar políticas con enfoque de género |url=https://diputados.gob.bo/noticias/diputada-acarapi-plantea-cumbre-nacional-de-mujeres-autoridades-para-perfilar-politicas-con-enfoque-de-genero/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220620231343/https://diputados.gob.bo/noticias/diputada-acarapi-plantea-cumbre-nacional-de-mujeres-autoridades-para-perfilar-politicas-con-enfoque-de-genero/ |archive-date=20 June 2022 |access-date=20 June 2022 |website=diputados.gob.bo |publisher=Chamber of Deputies |language=es |publication-place=La Paz}} Acarapi is also a proponent of LGBT rights, particularly transgender rights; in 2022, she and fellow Deputy Sabina Hilda Condori signed a strategic alliance with the Organization of Transgender Women of La Paz, aimed at combating discrimination and incidents of femicide against the community.{{cite video |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu2pVcHPgkU |title=Diputadas Bertha Acarapi y Sabina Hilda Condori firmaron una alianza estratégica |date=24 February 2022 |type=Television production |language=es |publisher=Chamber of Deputies |place=La Paz |via=YouTube}}
