Bolivian President Evo Morales
AN INVESTIGATION will be launched into the role played by the Organisation of American States (OAS) in last year’s Washington-backed coup in Bolivia, which ousted leftist president Evo Morales.
The president of the South American parliament Parlasur, Oscar Laborde, announced on Sunday that OAS general secretary Luis Almagro’s efforts will be scrutinised after the group published a damning report citing electoral irregularities in the November 2019 poll.
The report has since been dismissed by subsequent reports and investigations that found no evidence of fraud in the vote, which was won by Mr Morales and the Movement Towards Socialism (Mas).
