Besides denouncing the coup-born government's
massacre in Senkata, Evo Morales did not rule out
the possibility of new elections to regain peace in
his country.
At a press conference held in Mexico City, Bolivia's
President-in-exile Evo Morales on Wednesday analyzed
the latest consequences of the coup d'etat that
allowed opposition senator Jeanine Añez to proclaim
herself as interim president.The Movement to Socialism (MAS) leader began by
highlighting that the victims of the repression
carried out by the Police and the Army have
increased over the last week.
"After the coup,
they have killed about 30 people. This massacre is
part of genocide in our beloved Bolivia," Morales
said and stressed, "They are killing my brothers and
sisters."
Morales then presented a video in which the
number of people killed, in different places and
different dates, was detailed.
Bolivia's president-in-exile also warned that
right-wing groups are trying to hide information
about their fascist violence by stealing corpses and
manipulating autopsies.
Morales recalled that no one was shot dead until
the day of his resignation; however, "now, I've seen
how helicopters fire at people who are defending
democracy."
Repression
and chaos multiply in Bolivia.
Meanwhile, Bolivia's coup-born government
was posting messages stating that "our military
avoided a great tragedy and prevented thousands of
El Alto people from dying."
This paradoxical interpretation of
what happened in Senkata on Tuesday, however, is
part of a broader political strategy against Evo
Morales and his supporters.

The Añez administration on Wednesday announced
that it will file an international complaint against
Evo Morales for "crimes against humanity."
Besides being blamed for organizing road
blockades to prevent food from reaching several
cities, the Indigenous leader is being accused of an
alleged "possible" bomb attack at the Senkata
refinery. All these "destabilizing actions"
would have been planned by Morales from Mexico and
using his phone.
In a new effort to halt chaos in the Andean
country, the Socialist senator Efrain Chambi on
Wednesday presented "the Exceptional and
Transitional Bill for National and Subnational
Elections," which was referred to the Constitution
Commission for its analysis.
This happened shortly after the self-proclaimed
president Añez threatened again to call elections
through a decree, which would constitute a new
rupture of the Bolivian constitution and laws.

On the calling for new elections,
Morales said that "everything for peace"
is admissible, although he also recalled
that he won in the first round;
therefore he invited the international
community to conduct a new audit of the
electoral results.
Regarding accusations that he would be fostering
terrorism, the MAS leader said he did not know the
details of the legal actions against him, which the
Añez administration is or will be fostering.
Nevertheless, after recalling the experience of
the Bolivian popular struggle in the 1980s and
1990s., Morales pointed out that such misleading
practices "are typical of dictatorships."
Bolivia’s president-in exile ended his press
conference in Mexico asking the international
community not to support the coup d'etat, that is,
not be behave like the Organization of American
States (OAS).
“International organizations should support the
most humble and poor people,” Morales said and
stressed that “we will democratically recover
political power, as usual.”
