A MONTH ago Amlo’s guest of honour was Argentine President Alberto Fernandez. Last week it was Bolivian President Luis Arce Catacora, elected in the triumphant restoration of democracy in that country last October as the people drove out the short-lived dictatorship of Jeanine Anez.
Luis Arce was Economy Minister under Bolivian President Evo Morales who was driven out by the October 2019 coup. Arce had followed Evo to asylum in Mexico and stayed there for two months before they moved to Argentina to be closer to home.
On this official visit as president, he thanked the Mexican people for their warmth and solidarity and reaffirmed the importance of Amlo’s action in saving Evo’s life from the brutality of the coup-mongers.
