Mauricio Macri

FORMER Argentinian president Mauricio Macri’s government was accused today of having supplied arms used by the Bolivian coup regime to put down protests in the wake of president Evo Morales’s overthrow.

The Bolivian Foreign Ministry published documents that purport to reveal Argentinian complicity in atrocities committed by the coup administration of Jeanine Anez, including the Sacaba and Senkata massacres.

At a press conference, Bolivian Foreign Minister Rogelio Mayta showed journalists what he said was an official letter dated November 13 2019, in which then air force chief General Jorge Gonzalo Terceros thanked Argentinian ambassador Normando Alvarez Garcia for the delivery of 40,000 bullets.
