Exiled vice-president blames ‘racist backlash’ for Evo Morales's forced exit

Álvaro García Linera concedes mistakes pair made but branded the toppling of Morales as an anti-indigenous, rightwing ‘coup’


Evo Morales’s closest political adviser has admitted that the Bolivian leader’s failure to groom a successor contributed to the political crisis engulfing the South American nation but slammed the “racist backlash” he blamed for the toppling of its first indigenous president.

This, he argued, made it easier for a far-right opposition against Morales to hide its true nature, by attracting private university students who gave an air of democratic activism, although they were actually representing the interests of the traditional pale-skinned middle class that has seen its privileges slip away.

There is exactly one lithium mine operating in the KWA, in Nevada. ZOG wants to control the world's resources; so presto, engineer a coup in Bolivia, install a ZOG puppet and help yourself to all the lithium you need. Standard ZOG operating procedure.

Supporters of Bolivia's Morales march with coffins of dead protesters


Daniel Ramos, Santiago Limachi

LA PAZ (Reuters) - Supporters of ousted Bolivian leader Evo Morales marched into the capital La Paz on Thursday carrying coffins of people killed in clashes with the military and police, drawing attention to the human cost of the crisis gripping the South American nation.

Security forces fired tear gas to disperse the crowds after demonstrators placed one protester’s coffin and an effigy of interim President Jeanine Anez on top of an armored military vehicle and tried to enter the square where the presidential palace is located, a Reuters witness said.

Anez, a former opposition Senator who took office in a power vacuum last week, has grappled with a wave of protests against her as she has tried to move the landlocked South American country past Morales’ nearly 14-year leftist rule.

Bolivia’s interim government announces renewal of diplomatic ties with Israel


Transitional president rewrites foreign policy following Evo Morales’s ouster; Israeli FM praises shift after 11-year hiatus

By Raphael Ahren and TOI staff
28 November 2019, 7:45 pm

Bolivia is renewing diplomatic ties with Israel, the foreign minister of the Latin American country’s transitional government, Karen Longaric, announced in a briefing with reporters Thursday.

Foreign Minister Israel Katz praised the announcement, saying it would “contribute to Israel’s foreign relations and to its international status.”

Katz said the Foreign Ministry had been working to renew diplomatic relations for a long time, including via Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and Brazil’s foreign minister.

But the move was made possible following the ouster of former Bolivian president Evo Morales, “who was hostile to Israel,” Katz said, and the emergence of a government sympathetic to the Jewish state.


Longaric took office on November 14, after the departure of Morales, who was a bitter critic of Israeli policies.

Bolivia had cut diplomatic ties with Israel in January 2009 after Operation Cast Lead, a war against the Hamas terror group in Gaza. At the time, he called Israel’s treatment of Palestinians “a genocide.”

Morales was one of Israel’s fiercest critics during the Gaza war in 2014, when Bolivia declared Israel a “terrorist state.” The country also canceled a 30-year-old agreement enabling Israelis to visit Bolivia without visas.

Bolivia reforges U.S. ties as political alliances redrawn


Daniel Ramos, Mitra Taj

LA PAZ/COCHABAMBA, Bolivia (Reuters) - Bolivia’s interim government has named a temporary ambassador to the United States for the first time in more than a decade amid a redrawing of the South American nation’s international ties, including its shunning of traditional allies Venezuela and Cuba.

Bolivian foreign policy has shifted sharply in just two weeks under conservative interim President Jeanine Anez, a senator who took over in a power vacuum left by the resignation and exile of long-term leftist leader Evo Morales.

Bolivian minister seeks Israel help in fighting alleged leftist 'terrorism'


Monica Machicao

LA PAZ (Reuters) - Bolivia’s interim government wants Israel to help local authorities fight “terrorism” in the South American country, the interior minister told Reuters on Friday, alleging plots by Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and other leftists to destabilize regional governments.
(...)
The interim government of President Jeanine Anez, a former opponent of Morales who was the highest-ranking official when he and his vice president fled to Mexico, has since swung Bolivia’s politics sharply to the right.

She has strengthened the standing of the religious right, resumed strong ties with the United States and Israel, and sent hundreds of Cuban doctors and Venezuelan diplomats home.

Her government has also set up police units to conduct counter-terrorism operations. TV footage broadcast on local media have showed police in face masks with guns in training sessions.

“They’re tough and not messing around,” Murillo said of the units. “We’re going to keep preparing them.”

Murillo said several countries had helped train the police and that he has asked Israel for support as well.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-b...-idUSKBN1YA28V

Kick out hundreds of Cuban doctors and bring in bloodthirsty, psychopathic jewish mass murderers from the genocidal bandit state of Pissrael. Sounds like a good deal, right?

Bolivian AG orders arrest of ousted president Morales over ‘terrorism’


18 Dec, 2019 18:14 / Updated 1 hour ago

Bolivia’s coup-imposed government now has a court order for the arrest of former President Evo Morales, issued on the grounds of his alleged incitement of riots and “terrorism” in the divided South American nation.

A photo of the arrest order has been shared on Twitter by Arturo Murillo, the interior minister of the “transitional” government of Jeanine Anez. He had previously promised to jail Morales “for the rest of his life,” calling him a “terrorist.”

Manufacturing consent: How NY Times spins Bolivian coup against ‘coca-farming strongman’ Morales


25 Nov, 2019 19:51

A military-assisted coup against a democratically elected president transforms into a dramatic rescue of democracy from military dictatorship by someone who got 4 percent of the vote, to hear the US paper of record tell the story.

President Evo Morales of Bolivia resigned on November 10, after losing the support of the military, after US-backed opposition violently protested the outcome of the election which showed him winning in the first round with a 10-percent lead over the closest challenger. Three days later, opposition senator Jeanine Añez declared herself “interim president.” Washington called it a “significant moment for democracy in the Western Hemisphere.”

In the New York Times narrative, however, Morales was a “strongman” – at least in the printed edition headline – and “a leftist who led with a single-minded pursuit of his vision for 14 years.”
(...)
By choosing what to mention and what to omit, using loaded words to describe people and events, and relying almost exclusively on the narrative of the people involved in ousting an elected president and installing an unelected one in his place, the Times story represents a study in what scholar Noam Chomsky described as “manufacturing consent.”

In the end, the New York Times readers are told, Bolivian statesmen sat down and agreed that Añez should be the new president in talks “brokered by officials with the Roman Catholic Church and the European Union.” So the Vatican and a transatlantic polity get a say in who runs Bolivia, but the majority of actual Bolivians don’t, and this is somehow celebrated as democracy.

Bolivia: A coup for Israel too


Belen Fernandez
19 December 2019 12:48 UTC | Last update: 2 days 8 hours ago

The right wing seeks to reconquer Bolivia, dismantling solidarity with Palestine and bringing in Israeli advisors to help crush protests

Shortly after left-wing Bolivian President Evo Morales was ousted in a US-supported coup in November - disguised as a noble reaction to alleged electoral fraud - the self-appointed, fanatically right-wing Bolivian “interim” government announced the renewal of diplomatic relations with Israel.

These had been severed by Morales in 2009 during Israel’s Operation Cast Lead in the Gaza Strip, which killed some 1,400 Palestinians, including more than 300 children. Though Israel naturally cast itself as the singular victim of the affair, the ratio of Palestinian civilian to Israeli civilian deaths was 400:1.

During a subsequent Israeli-inflicted bloodbath in Gaza in 2014, this one by the name of Operation Protective Edge and entailing the slaughter of 2,251 Palestinians (including 299 women and 551 children), Morales denounced Israel as a “terrorist state” - a perfectly accurate assessment, given the circumstances and Israel’s track record.

Resuming relations

So it’s no surprise that Israel was quick to embrace rapprochement with the newly cleansed government of Bolivia after the November coup, with Israel’s Ynet news site reporting that “the resumption of relations between Bolivia and Israel was made possible by the end of the reign of former hostile President Abu Morales”. (It is not clear whether the Evo-to-Abu modification was a bizarre mistake or a deliberate attempt by some sneaky Ynet person to Arabise the “hostile” leader’s name.)

Additional bonding opportunities rapidly materialised, as Bolivia went about requesting assistance from Israel in training police units for counterterrorism operations. On 6 December, Bolivian interim interior minister, Arturo Murillo, told Reuters: “We’ve invited them to help us. They’re used to dealing with terrorists. They know how to handle them. The only thing we want is to bring peace.”
(...)
As for Israel’s alleged experience in “dealing with terrorists”, who better than a terrorist state to offer counter-terror training? To be sure, Israel’s seven-plus decades of ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and thwarting peace at every turn make it a strong candidate for assistant Bolivian peace-bringer.

Exiled Morales says fears fraud in next Bolivia vote, or coup after


Juan Bustamante, Nicolás Misculin

BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Bolivian former President Evo Morales, who resigned last year under pressure from the military, says he is confident his political party will win re-run elections scheduled for May, but fears they will be fraudulent or followed by a coup.

In an interview with Reuters in Argentina, where Morales is living in exile, the socialist former leader accused the “right” and the United States of preventing his presidential or Senate candidacies, and of trying to keep his Movement to Socialism (MAS) out of power.

He cited a recently published independent analysis of the election he was initially judged to have won in October by two researchers at MIT’s Election Data and Science Lab as evidence for his claim.

An Organization of American States audit that found serious irregularities in October was flawed, the study said, and concluded that it was “very likely” Morales won the vote by the 10 percentage points needed to avoid a run-off.

Bolivia protests rattle political truce as military mobilized


Daniel Ramos

LA PAZ (Reuters) - Bolivia’s government said on Monday it had ordered police and military to protect key installations and the transport of medical oxygen after clashes broke out over protests and roadblocks by opposition supporters demanding a quick election.

Tensions are brewing as the South American nation heads for a key presidential election on Oct. 18, which has been delayed due to COVID-19. Supporters of unseated former leftist leader Evo Morales are demanding the vote be held on Sept. 6.

The standoff threatens to convulse the landlocked country and revive memories of last year’s deadly clashes following a disputed election that led to the resignation of Morales, dozens of people being killed and buildings being set on fire.

The election is being fought between Morales’ Movement for Socialism (MAS) party and a fragmented conservative opposition, including interim President Jeanine Anez, who took over in a power vacuum last year promising swift new election.
(...)
Morales, currently in Argentina, has criticized the interim government, which he accuses of leading a coup, and encouraged mobilizations to protest against the election delay. The protesters, mostly in rural areas, have blocked access to some main cities using stones, rubble and earth.

Bolivian court drops ‘terrorism’ charges against ex-President Evo Morales, withdraws arrest warrant – judge


26 Oct, 2020 21:29

Bolivia’s regional court in La Paz has dismissed “terrorism” charges and dropped the arrest warrant issued against former President Evo Morales, arguing that his rights were violated and judicial procedures breached.

The ex-president’s rights, including his right for judicial protection, have been violated, Judge Jorge Quino, the head of the Departmental Court of Justice in La Paz, said as he explained the court’s decision to grant a request filed by Morales’ lawyers.
(...)
The ruling does not mean though that the currently exiled former president, who was indicted for inciting riots and “terrorism” in the wake of his ousting last year, can safely return home just yet. The decision is yet to be approved by the nation’s Plurinational Constitutional Court which can still reverse it.
(...)
Still, even in absence of its leader, Morales’ Movement Toward Socialism (MAS) party secured majorities in both chambers of the Bolivian parliament in the latest general elections held on October 18. Socialist Luis Arce, who served as an economy minister under Morales and was allegedly handpicked by the former leader as a presidential candidate, also won the vote, securing a landslide victory against his leading rival, Carlos Mesa.

Evo Morales re-enters Bolivia after a year in exile


By Ueslei Marcelino, Miguel Lobianco

VILLAZON, Bolivia (Reuters) - Bolivia’s former leader Evo Morales made a dramatic homecoming on Monday, greeted by crowds of cheering supporters as he crossed the border from Argentina where he had been living in exile since late last year.

Morales, seen off by Argentine President Alberto Fernandez, who hugged him goodbye, made his return after his socialist MAS party swept back into power a year after he resigned amid violent protests and fled the country.

The leftist ex-president, an indigenous former coca farmer who led Bolivia for nearly 14 years, departed under a cloud in November 2019 after he ran for an unprecedented fourth term in an election marred by allegations of fraud.

Bolivian court issues ARREST warrants for former interim president Jeanine Anez and ministers who seized power after 2019 coup


12 Mar, 2021 18:25 / Updated 1 day ago

A Bolivian court has issued warrants for the arrest of the country’s ex-president and nine other people, including ministers and top military officials, over their role in a coup against former president Evo Morales.

On Friday, state prosecutors called for former interim president Jeanine Anez to be detained, along with five government ministers and four military chiefs, after they were accused of sedition, terrorism and conspiracy.

Anez has reacted to the accusations, calling it “political persecution” on Twitter after learning she was wanted by the authorities.

Among others facing arrest are General Williams Kaliman and former police commander Yuri Calderon. The latter called on then-president Morales to resign in November 2019 despite the fact that he won the election, alleging the vote was rigged – a claim that was later debunked.

Evo Morales announces 2025 Bolivian presidential bid


The leftist leader plans to seek a fourth term after being ousted from power in what he claims was a US-backed coup

Former president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, a leftist ousted from power amid riots four years ago, has announced that he will run for his fourth term as president in 2025.

Writing on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, Morales said he will “accept the request” from his supporters to run again. “I am going to give it everything I can. We still have strength. We are going to face the aggression against us… with truth, dignity and honesty,” Morales wrote.

Bolivia’s first president of indigenous descent and a staunch critic of US “imperialism,” Morales was first elected president in 2006. He was forced to step down in 2019 and leave the country during unrest sparked by allegations of rigging an election in favor of his Movement for Socialism party (MAS). Morales claimed that his ouster was a coup orchestrated by Washington.

Morales was barred from running for office by conservative interim President Jeanine Anez in 2020. However, MAS won the parliamentary election that year and returned to power, with Luis Arce, a minister in Morales’ cabinet, becoming president. The new authorities charged Anez and several other officials with violating the constitution for their role in the events of 2019. She was eventually sentenced to ten years in prison.

In a first for any country, Bolivia severs ties with Israel over war in Gaza


BY GABE FRIEDMAN OCTOBER 31, 2023 5:26 PM

(JTA) — Bolivia’s foreign ministry announced Tuesday that it is severing diplomatic ties with Israel over what it called Israel’s crimes against humanity in its war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Bolivia had previously cut ties with Israel in 2009 under President Evo Morales over another violent conflict in Gaza, but President Jeanine Anez restored relations in 2020.

Bolivia’s current president, Luis Arce, is a member of the country’s left-wing socialist party and was formerly finance minister under Morales.

Morales, who resigned after his 2019 election win was widely disputed, was sharply critical of Israel during his 13 years in power. In 2017, after Chile expelled nine Bolivians accused of smuggling and theft, he said, “Chile is the Israel of South America: It imposes political walls, invisible and mental,”
