Bolivia's de facto gov't strengthens relationship with the Army


La Paz, Jul 20 (Prensa Latina) Bolivia´s de facto government on Monday strengthens its relationship with the military after virtually participating in the degree promotion decreed last week without Senate´s endorsement, as set down by Constitution.

Jeanine Añez, the de facto president, highlighted the attitude of the military high-ranking command and its 'decisive' role in what she described as a 'democracy recovery,' to actually refer to the November 2019 coup against President Evo Morales.

The Senate promoted several military personnel to general last week in affront to the legislative power that must endorse these promotions as set down by Constitution. Bolivia's Senate President, Eva Copa, said that she would submit a direct action to the Plurinational Constitutional Court to cancel such a promotion.

In May, the military swarmed in campaign uniforms into Parliament to demand a resolution to promote those military.

Copa stated at that time that completing promotions to the rank of general in the Armed Forces through the Supreme Decree would prove the transitional government is de facto and hostile to the democratic system.

Jeanine Añez, the de facto president, brandishes her historic bible as her coup government takes over, holding it high
above the heads of the Bolivian population with a high majority of members being descendants of the indigenous
population which had endured in the country thousands of years before the bloody invasion by European "Christian"
soldiers, clergy, and landowners.









Laying down the law to the ones her European-descended peers call "llama abortions" and "f###ing Indians."
