Bolivija: Na predsjednički izborima pomeo socjalist
BOGOTA, Colombia
Bolivia’s Supreme Electoral Tribunal formally announced Friday that Luis Arce won the presidential election.
The candidate of former President Evo Morales’ Movement Toward Socialism (MAS) party, captured 55.1% of the votes to avoid a runoff, after five days of vote counting.
Citizen Community and main opposition candidate Carlos Mesa received 28.8%, according to official results.
Heads of state in Latin America and the Caribbean, including Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, began congratulating Arce before results were official.
"We have just learned the results of the election in Bolivia and we are very pleased,” Lopez Obrador said Thursday. “We greet, embrace and congratulate the people of Bolivia because they knew how to face a serious conflict through peaceful and democratic means, and they elected a president from the same movement to which former President Evo Morales belongs, who was deposed and faced threats.”
Lopez Obrador said Mexico granted Morales asylum last year when he resigned following a disputed election that resulted in unrest.
"He was granted protection and asylum. That was a task headed by [Minister of Foreign Affairs] Marcelo Ebrard and I gave the instruction," he said.
Other regional leaders sent congratulations to Arce earlier this week, as exit polls suggested he had a strong enough lead to claim victory.
Argentine President Alberto Fernandez said Monday the MAS victory was “not only good news for those who defend democracy in Latin America; it is also an act of justice in the face of the aggression suffered by the Bolivian people."
Paraguayan President Mario Abdo Benitez said he contacted Arce.
"I contacted president-elect of Bolivia Luis Arce to congratulate him on his democratic triumph. We agreed to continue promoting strong bilateral relations between Paraguay and Bolivia and regional integration," he said.
After learning of unofficial results, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel also welcomed the results of exit polls and emphasized that the Bolivian people had defeated the “coup d' etat” against Morales in November 2019, following a report by the Organization of American States (OAS) that said the election was rigged.
The regional bloc never provided proof of the allegations.
Diaz-Canel said on Twitter the MAS party “regained in the polls the power usurped by the oligarchy, in collusion with the OAS and under the guidance of the empire.”
The Mexican government on Wednesday requested the resignation of Luis Almagro as General Secretariat of the OAS for having intervened in Bolivian democracy.
"Mexico suggests that Mr. Luis Almagro submit to a process of self-criticism based on his actions against the Inter-American Democratic Charter and for hurting Bolivia's democracy, to determine if he still has the moral authority to lead this organization," said Maximiliano Reyes, Mexican Undersecretary for Latin America and the Caribbean, during Mexico's virtual intervention at the OAS General Assembly. “What happened in Bolivia must never be repeated," he added.
Morales also joined a petition Thursday for Almagro's resignation while in exile in Argentina.

Navodno su iz pučističke hunte kolektivno zatražili američke vize u strahu od odmazde.

But at the heart of the story are a succession of spectacular miscalculations and misteps by Mas’ opponents – and above all the caretaker administration of Jeanine Áñez, who took power two days after Morales left Bolivia on 10 November 2019.
As interim president Áñez had a simple mandate: to lead Bolivia peacefully towards fresh elections. Instead, with the help of her hardline interior minister Arturo Murillo, the conservative Christian set about pursuing Morales supporters and alienating Bolivia’s indigenous majority with a display of Bible bashing and brute force.
“They showed so much vindictiveness against the Mas and the impact [on indigenous voters] was dramatic because a lot of people basically said: ‘Look, these guys are not only going to go after Evo, they’re going to go after everybody who looks like Evo,’” said Eduardo Gamarra, a Bolivia expert at Florida International University.
Derpic said Áñez’s decision to herself run for president – only abandoning her bid on the eve of the election – caused further alarm. Some feared the right would lead Bolivia back into dictatorship and used Sunday’s vote to say no. “There was part of Bolivian society who, despite the disappointment and anger and frustration with the Mas, wanted to preserve democracy,” Derpic said.
But Mas’s resurrection also speaks to its own strengths: its powerful connection to Bolivia’s indigenous populations and working classes, and how it savvily reinvented itself to win back voters disillusioned with Morales’s refusal to relinquish power.

Znači nakon kratkotrajnog (i neuspjelog)eksperimenta vraćaju se pod socijalističko okrilje.
Potpuno logično,ali hoće li to proteći bez problema?
Koliko znamo iz bliže prošlosti ,u sličnim situacijama Veliki Ujak uvijek nastoji opstruirati demokratsku volju Južnoamerikanaca.

Što je zanimljivo, Argentinski pritisak na huntu doveo je do njhovog odlaska, dok ih pokrovitelj Brazil nije uspio sačuvati.

Ima svoje probleme, ovdje je ogromnu ulogu odigrala Argentinska vlast, gdje de facto sada Moralesov stožer. Istovremeno Bolsonaro se pogubio u pandemijskoj krizi tako da junta nije imala neku pomoć od Brazila.

A special committee of the Bolivian Parliament on Monday recommended starting trials against the leader of the coup-born regime Jeanine Añez and some ministers for the massacres of Sacaba and Senkata that took place in 2019.
After the coup d’état against Evo Morales in November 2019, the military forces executed the massacres of Senkata and Sacaba, where 37 people were killed, 27 of whom died from bullet impacts.
The Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) lawmaker Victor Borda pointed out that Añez will have to face a trial of responsibility for the crimes of genocide, murder, attempted murder, serious injuries, injuries followed by death, and criminal association.
Lawmakers also seek to prosecute Foreign Affairs Minister Karen Longaric, Defense Minister Luis Fernando, Interior Minister Arturo Murillo, Justice Minister Alvaro Coimbra, and former Commanders Yuri Calderon and Williams Kaliman for the same criminal offenses.
