October has just closed, a disastrous month, and another one with more tensions and uncertainty for the country has just begun, pushed on the brink of the abyss for those close to Evo Morales who yesterday completed 18 days blocking roads. They do so, as in Mairana, in the midst of increasingly violent confrontations with the forces of order that seem to have been overwhelmed. The unrepentant blockades seek impunity for their leader who, as a ‘confessed criminal,’ refuses to appear in court to answer for accusations of statutory rape, human trafficking and smuggling.
If he is captured in his Chapareño trench, Morales has sloppily warned with an indigenous uprising and even with the mutiny of the Armed Forces. Apparently you have received audio from the barracks that refers to the discontent military with the government of Luis Arce who, on his side, ordered his former ally become his worst political enemy, to leave the roads open or he will activate his constitutional attribution. And what are you waiting for? Why didn’t you do it before?
According to the Ministry of Rural Development and Lands, only agriculture registers a loss of at least $970 million while the ‘Boss’ turns a blind eye to the request for a fourth intermission for Todos Santos, this weekend. Morales is causing the country not only million-dollar losses on a daily basis. Bolivians have had their right to live in peace taken away from them. And this infamy has no price nor can it go unpunished, without receiving the harshest sanction that corresponds.
