<p>The anti-imperialist
school that Evo Morales created in the Armed Forces of Bolivia in 2016
has been renamed Friday to Heroes of Ñancahuazu, after the Bolivian
military unit that killed the revolutionary figure Ernesto “Che” Guevara
in 1967.</p>
<p>"Bolivians are not anti-anything," Bolivia’s Interim Defense Minister
Luis Fernando Lopez declared to media in La Paz, while explaining that
the anti-imperialist orientation with which Morales launched this
academy in 2016 "did not fit with military doctrine."</p>
<p>"Under that
anti-imperialist concept, foreign doctrines are generated," he added,
something that "has nothing to do with the spirit of Bolivians."</p>
<p>The General Juan Jose
Torres Anti-Imperialist Command School installed in the Bolivian city
of Warnes did not provide "any type of function that will contribute to
the Armed Forces," the official added.</p>
<p>The training center
was integrated into the Military School of Engineering with the new
name. Yet this is just another attempt form the de-facto government to
erase the legacy of Evo Morales and the social and cultural progress
made during his mandate; as in the case of the burning and dismissal of
the Indigenous Wiphala flag. </p>
<p>The de-facto
President Jeanine Añez, after coming to power last November in a violent
coup, said the government would replace "ideological educational
instances" that in her opinion "did not pay any education" to the
Bolivian military.</p>
<p>The statements of the
Minister of Defense were made during the presentation of a military and
police device to strengthen security for Jan. 22 when Bolivia
celebrates Plurinational State Day.</p>
