WHATEVER some in the right-wing media may tell you, the resignation forced on President Evo Morales by the military was a coup.
As Bernie Sanders said: “it was the military who interfered in that process and asked him to leave. When the military intervenes... in my view, that's called a coup.”
Furthermore, the ousting of Morales followed a wave of right-wing opposition violence that lashed out at the country’s indigenous and peasant population, trade unionists and socialists. This trend has intensified since the coup.
Following the military forcing Morales to resign, a right-wing opposition senator and president of the senate Jeanine Anez declared herself president of Bolivia and was sworn in by the military.
