THE resignations of three ministers in Jeanine Anez’s coup government show that her “regime is crumbling every day,” a Bolivian democracy campaigner told the Morning Star today.
Economy Minister Oscar Ortiz quit on Monday over the government’s determination to privatise the Electricity and Light Company of Cochabamba, which was brought into public ownership by Evo Morales’s government a decade ago.
Mr Ortiz said the decision should be left to the next administration — elections are due in under a month, with Mr Morales’s Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) enjoying a commanding lead in the polls.
