idk if this is good news for Arce if her voters transfer over to Mesa. The only thing that can stop him is a united opposition.

I saw some footage of Anez, her speech to unite the right else Morales comes back.

If Joe Biden was President, we wouldn't have to see the kind of shenanigans that went down today.

Congratulations to Luis Arce and MAS for their resounding victory in the Bolivian elections!

A triumph for the left and for the restoration of democracy. A big defeat for the coup regime and all its backers. pic.twitter.com/xHXGJgVteK

Without knowing anything about him I'm sure we haven't heard the last of that behelmeted Mamani geezer.

All the Leninists in the house:

Bolivia demonstrates that if you build a mass movement rooted in working class communities and driven by the grass roots, you build a resilient movement, that can withstand the might of an empire and continue to fight for a better future - el pueblo unido, jamás será vencido pic.twitter.com/M4utaCFLOK

already seeing ppl say bolivians "voted out fascism." that is not what happened. u dont need to know much abt the situation to kno that this was only possible bc a full year of militant resistance by thousands of ppl, mostly indigenous ppl & workers, made the coup untenable pic.twitter.com/673U8VVybM

has anybody read any good (not foreign affairs magazine type) long articles about the anti-coup activities in bolivia over the last year. little reporting i've read has been pretty piecemeal and largely in publications that seem disappointed not to be congratulating the cia

good job nyt

Bolivia’s former president, Evo Morales, returned to the country on Monday, a year after his failed attempt to keep power tore the nation apart and sent him into exile.https://t.co/BRSygQrS4T

loooool

I hope you realise the impact your refusal to stop hitting yourself is having

haha omg

I don't know why I bother on this message board but...Morales did fail to get voters to approve the change needed in the Bolivian constitution for him to serve a fourth term as president.

I think it’s time for Bolivia’s left wing to let go of Morales.

y'all know he wasn't on the ballot, right

Of course, but he still holds a lot of power through the unions and MAS.

or do you mean that Bolivia's left wing should abandon his party, who just won 55% of the vote in a three way race xp

I think he should just retire and let other people continue the good work.

Other people at MAS, that is.

Why?

13 years at the helm is good enough. Term limits are important, he already amended the constitution by packing the courts with his people to get past one. He did good stuff for Bolivia and his legacy can live on with MAS, but I honestly think that him seeking too much power again will hinder MAS’s objectives today.

Let MAS decide what will or won't hinder them.

no coup them

Let MAS decide what will or won't hinder them.

Arce has distanced himself from Morales.

All I'm seeing is the odd rally after a return from exile rn.

Después de ganar las elecciones del 18 de octubre y contar ya con un gobierno democrático, con los hermanos @LuchoXBolivia y @LaramaDavid tenemos la responsabilidad de garantizar la dignidad, la soberanía, la independencia y la estabilidad de #Bolivia. Esa es nuestra lucha. pic.twitter.com/j1vUpAFMVR

He can be a spiritual figure and have rallies all he want, I just hope he lets Arce, the person who was elected by the people, do his job.

i guess its a free country tho

!

BREAKING: Bolivia has cancelled and returned the full sum of the US $346.7 Million IMF loan taken out by the coup regime, in rejection of IMF impositions on internal economic policy.

As of February 2021, the loan had already racked up $24.3 Million in interest and commissions. pic.twitter.com/4sPkAJRtsg

Ah! those lovely multi-million dollar "commissions" so deservingly earned by some mega-banks for assisting with the paperwork and handling the transfer of funds.

seems really big, don't know if there's any precedent for this but it would be great if this sets one

It's wonderful

Ridiculous to call it a coup when there was legitimate elections and landslide victory for the opposition party and a peaceful transfer of power.

Didn’t the government that took over last year without being democratically elected kill dozens of protesters? And people continued to protest? I don’t think the legitimate elections happened in a vacuum.

xp lol what???? Her party polled 4% and as for peaceful, you don’t remove criminal liability from police and the military if you think the transfer of power is going to be peaceful.

Don't let's be beastly to the fascists

Was she in charge of the military while Morales resigned under military threat? Or of the National Union of Workers?

Did she make the election audit that lead to widespread false claims that Morales had committed electoral fraud?

If there is clarity that she indeed contributed to the errors to the OAS report or that she colluded with the National Union and military to oust Morales, then I'll gladly called it a coup.

Añez's daughter traveled to the United States this week to seek assistance from allies in Washington.

She thanked José Miguel Vivanco of Human Rights Watch for allowing her to "expose the dramatic situation" while posing in front of HRC (LGBTQ advocacy, different from HRW) pic.twitter.com/tFYUNIUvtu

Really good thread, directed @ leftists.

a vietnamese communist posted a picture with a plot of land given to them by the government and was immediately inundated with responses from ""leftists"" living in imperialist nations asking things like "heh, when is your government gonna allow independent unions" look at us man
