Bolivia after the coup and the challenges ahead
In just 11 months the dictatorial regime of Jeanine Anez and her gang of criminals destroyed the economy and neglected the health of the people. Although the coup-plotters were defeated, we cannot be complacent, says MIRIAM AMANCAY COLQUE

IT IS one year since Bolivians recovered democracy with Luis Arce and David Choquehuanca of the left-wing MAS-IPSP alliance, a victory that was achieved thanks to the resilience and strength of the Bolivian people.

On November 11 2019, Mauricio Macri sent weapons and high-calibre ammunition to repress the Bolivians, as did Lenin Moreno of Ecuador. The Condor Mk2 Plan was under way in Bolivia.

On November 12 2019, supported by the Organisation of American States, imperialism and the national and regional far right, Jeanine Anez usurped power with her gang of criminals who did not hesitate to massacre the people, again spreading blood on the pages of our history, wanting to impose a neocolonial, republican and neoliberal regime.
