'False flag' bomb scares plot to scupper Bolivian election

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2020

Documents passed to the Morning Star allege far-right paramilitaries with links to the army are making contingency plans to forestall a win by Evo Morales's Movement Towards Socialism



FAR-RIGHT forces linked to Bolivia’s coup regime are considering staging “false flag” bomb scares to incriminate the Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) and annul elections that the party is set to win, documents seen by the Morning Star suggest.

The documents say that bomb threats could target hotels where international observers of the presidential election will be staying.

Information passed to the Star from within Bolivia outlines five scenarios that could be carried out with the aim of preventing the MAS from returning to power in the elections on October 18.

The ballot will take place nearly a year after the country’s last elections, in which MAS leader Evo Morales won a first-round victory but was ordered out of office by the army after right-wing protests.
