AS HAS been widely covered in the Morning Star, October 2021 marked a year after Bolivia’s Movement for Socialism party (MAS) gained a decisive victory in the 2020 presidential election, ending the illegitimate regime of Jeanine Anez, but there are now sustained and serious concerns about right-wing anti-democratic destabilisation in the country.

How seriously the government is taking this ongoing threat is shown by numerous communiques it has issued in recent months to alert the international community about the development of a “destabilisation process” and numerous Labour MPs were among those who signed a letter expressing international support for democracy and social progress in Bolivia.

Having removed Evo Morales and the MAS from power, the coup regime moved quickly to seek to turn the clock back to implement a neoliberal and racist agenda.
