LAST Sunday, a right-wing coup ousted President Evo Morales amid a wave of violence and abuse directed against indigenous people across the country, particularly supporters of Morales’s Movement for Socialism (MAS) party.
Whilst some in the media have ridiculously claimed this a not a coup, what other word in the English language can describe a situation when army generals appear on TV demanding the resignation of an elected head of state while their allies detain and torture government officials?
Installed in Evo Morales’ place as the self-declared interim President is deputy Senate speaker Jeanine Anez, an apparently Christian-supremacist politician.
