Disclaimer & comment rulesEvo Morales got caught fixing the election and had to leave the country to keep from being prosecuted.... There was no coup he just got caught fixing the election and left for Mexico rather than face the Bolivian people.... those that continue to follow him are being mislead and are being very naïve about Mr. Morales and what he has done and is capable of doing. Argentina isn't doing themselves a favor having Morales in the country... He's just another distraction Argentina doesn't need....

Jan 17th, 2020 - 04:53 am - Link - Report abuse -2Over recent years, however, “soft” coups used the judiciary in conjunction with accomplice local media to mislead the public became the dominant strategy.
However, the recent eviction of president Evo Morales had most of the elements present in the old fashion coups -- including the absence of even a shred of legality in the self-proclaimed interim president Jeanine Añez, a fanatic religious person who has shown open contempt for the majority of Bolivia's population represented by the originary peoples.
As a result, the new Argentine government headed by president Alberto Fernandez, to his credit, has denied recognition of Bolivia’s interim government. Instead, Fernandez is waiting for “transparent elections to recognize the next government of Bolivia.”
Not more. Not less.
