<h1 class="reader-title">Nicaraguan Opposition Praises Bolivian
Coup</h1>
November 20, 2019<br>
<p><b>By Chuck Kaufman</b></p>
<p><span>Anyone who remains under the illusion that the
opposition behind the 2018 failed coup in Nicaragua was
rising up from the Left should wake up and smell the coffee
as the groups representing the coup mongers fall over
themselves to praise the ultra-right, anti-indigenous coup
in Bolivia. Have you seen the quote from the self-declared
“President” of Bolivia, opposition legislator </span><span>Jeanine
Anez?</span><span> “I dream of a Bolivia free of satanic
indigenous rituals. The city is not for the Indians, they
should go to the highlands or to Chaco!” the Evangelical
Christian-Fascist said in 2006. This virulent strain of
racism against the indigenous peoples of Bolivia is a return
to governance by the traditional Bolivian oligarchy which
has always had the support of the US government and
transnational corporations. This is the kind of friends that
even the Sandinista Renovation Movement is consorting with
these days and for the last several years.</span></p>
<p><span>It is interesting to note that Amnesty International,
which has had a lot of anti-government, poorly documented
accusations to make against the government of Nicaragua, has
said not one word about the violent coup in Bolivia that has
left at least 18 supporters of the constitutional government
dead. I have not seen statements by any other
corporate-supported international human rights organizations
that would indicate any concern about human rights in
Bolivia. </span></p>
<p><span>It is also worth noting that the Peasant Movement of
Nicaragua from Exile, which brought to fame </span><span>Francisca
Ramirez (supposedly a peasant environmentalist being
repressed by the Ortega government), has taken the side of
the Bolivian oligarchy, calling them “brothers” in their
statement below.</span></p>
<p><span>The putsch in Nicaragua in April 2018, was the first
test of the Trump regime to overthrow the governments of the
so-called “Pink Tide” that was fulfilling Bolivar’s dream of
a politically and economically integrated Latin America
independent of the “Colossus of the North.” The coup effort
failed there and multiple attempts failed in Venezuela as
the most recent effort by US anointed fake president Juan
Guido fell flat this past Saturday. </span></p>
<p><span>The jury is still out on whether it will succeed in
Bolivia as the unions and popular movements that brought Evo
Morales to power through the ballot box, and which forced
the resignation of successive neoliberal governments prior
to his election, organize a strong fight-back to the coup.
On the political side, the Movement Toward Socialism (MAS)
political party, which controls the national legislature,
managed to run a police gauntlet and achieve a quorum to
elect new officers in place of those forced out by the army.
They now have the stronger case of constitutional succession
to the presidency than the racist Jeanine Anez! Whether the
constitutional order will be restored will depend on the
courage of the Bolivian people and the solidarity of the
international community. </span></p>
<p><span>As far as the Nicaraguan opposition goes, we know them
by their words and their actions. Below are the English
translations of the tweets above. Pay particular attention
to what our former friends in the MRS have to say,
especially their praise for the Bolivian army and police and
their claim of proven electoral fraud, when three weeks
after the election not a shred of evidence of fraud has been
presented in any national or international forum. </span></p>

<p><span>From the Articulation of Social Movements we embrace
the demands of the Bolivian people who have achieved the
resignation of Evo Morales, in their legitimate right to
social protest and in the defense of the popular will that
can remove or put aside their rulers when they stop
listening to and obeying those who are owed, the people.

<p><b>Victory for democracy in Bolivia</b></p>
<p><span>The MRS salutes, and feels as its own, the democratic
struggle in Bolivia that has culminated in the resignation
of Evo Morales.</span></p>
<p><span>Evo Morales, contrary to the popular will expressed in
the 2016 referendum, in which the majority of the population
said NO to re-election, resorted to legal tricks to
participate in the elections of October 27, in which he
executed a fraud to remain in power.</span></p>
<p><span>The mobilization of the Bolivian people, the
international pressure, the decorous role of the armed
forces and the police, who refused to repress the Bolivian
people, have achieved not only the convocation of new
elections, but also the resignation of Morales, the main
architect of the proven fraud and the main obstacle to
respect for Bolivian institutions.</span></p>
<p><span>Nicaraguans will continue the heroic citizen
mobilization that has taken place in the last 17 months and
that, despite the crimes and repression of the Ortega
Murillo dictatorship, have made possible the national and
international isolation of the regime, to the point of
placing it in an irreversible and terminal crisis that can
only lead to a Nicaragua with justice and democracy.</span></p>
<p><span>Our greetings to the Bolivian people for their
democratic conquest.</span></p>
<p><span>Managua 10 November 2019</span></p>
