Bolivia: Morales Denounces Right-Wing Collusion to Seize Power
Published 24 July 2020 (9 hours 5 minutes ago)
Bolivia’s former president Evo Morales Ayma, denounced on Thursday that right-wing organizations collude to seize power in several departments, neglecting the Movement to Socialism (MAS) political party.
"The right-wing of the coup aims to extend itself, outlaw MAS-IPSP, and assault the state. Now they are planning coups in departmental and municipal governments, among them the department of Pando," Morales tweeted.
On July 23, the Bolivian Supreme Electoral Court postponed the general elections alleging sanitary risk, due to Bolivia’s exceptional health situation because of COVID-19.
MAS’ supporters denounce the postponement as a way to prolong the de facto president Jeanine Añez's time in office. They also condemned political prosecution against MAS members.
