WE recently marked six months since the military coup that removed Bolivia’s elected President, Evo Morales, from office. With the coronavirus crisis reaching the country, Bolivians continue to suffer violent repression and savage austerity measures under an illegitimate regime, which is now putting lives in danger through its response to the pandemic.
It is important to restate that Evo Morales was ousted after being declared the winner of October’s election with a lead of 10 points over his nearest challenger, Carlos Mesa.
Claims of irregularities by the Organisation of American States (OAS), which is 60 per cent US-funded, were used to justify the coup but have been rejected by studies into the election.
