Bolivia: Evo Morales Warns of DEA-driven Destabilisation Plan
Published 12 February 2022
The former president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, denounced this Saturday that the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is executing a destabilising plan against the coca growers' movement and its leaders.
In a series of tweets on his official account, Morales warned the Bolivian people and the international community about this plan by the DEA, along with its political and media agents operating in Bolivia.
"The DEA is carrying out a destabilising plan of lies and hate speech against the coca growers' movement and its leaders. Their plan is to lie in order to divide", Morales wrote, after the US offered up to five million dollars for information leading to the conviction of Maximiliano Dávila, former anti-drugs chief in the government of the former Bolivian president.
According to the former president, "this political operation (of the DEA) follows the same tactics that the US uses to justify coups and invade countries.
"To carry out the Condor Plan, they accused popular governments of being "communists", to plunder natural resources, they accused socialist presidents of being "terrorists", he stressed.

Coca has been grown, and a source of income for ages in Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, etc. The place to turn off drug abuse is in and by the countries where the drug is sold.)
