It would be extremely stupid of the members here to think this was not part of the USAID program that has been in the area for about a year trying to fuk over Venezuela.
‘Hard to Believe’ Bolivian Coup Government Will Relinquish Power to Leftist in New Elections
Over the weekend, Bolivia’s coup government passed laws annulling the October 20 elections won by former President Evo Morales and setting the stage for new elections in which he cannot run. The news comes amid deadly repression of indigenous protesters by the police and military forces who overthrew Morales.
President Jeanine Áñez Chávez, who led the minority faction of the Bolivian Senate before declaring herself interim president on November 13, signed the measures into law on Sunday. Áñez was able to make the power grab because the majority party, Morales’ Movimiento al Socialismo (Movement for Socialism, or MAS), was intimidated into staying away from the Senate that day, Sputnik reported, and when they attempted to return the following day to annul Áñez’s move, police blocked them.
Morales stepped down on November 10 and fled the country, receiving asylum in Mexico as right-wing forces swept into the halls of power and declared them purged of Cochamama, the indigenous goddess representing mother Earth. However, supporters of Morales from across the social spectrum, from indigenous people to workers, women and others, have rallied in the streets to oppose the overthrow of the first government to represent them in the 500 years since Spanish colonizers conquered the land.
Patricio Zamorano, academic, international analyst and co-director of the Council on Hemispheric Affairs (COHA), told Radio Sputnik’s Loud and Clear Monday that the result is “exactly what Evo Morales was offering: basically, new elections in a matter of 120 days.”
