LAST Sunday, a right-wing coup ousted President Evo Morales amid a wave of violence and abuse directed against indigenous people across the country, particularly supporters of Morales’s Movement for Socialism (MAS) party.

Installed in Evo Morales’ place as the self-declared interim President is deputy Senate speaker Jeanine Anez, an apparently Christian-supremacist politician.
