Bolivia is currently a crossroads of information. A storm of versions. What’s going on in this South American country? Freddy Magno Mamaniformer Presidential Official for International Affairs Luis Arce, President of Bolivia, offers tips during interviews Aristegui live.
“It’s hard to explain what’s happening in the context of what happened here. It’s clear that there are interests that transcend the interests of the Bolivian people, which were exposed on Wednesday in coup attempt. Reactions, both the far right and those who perform state functions “They showed that this is an attack on democratic institutions, not only of the government, but also of the people who make up the multinational State of Bolivia.”
Fredy Magno Mamani tries to sum up the military-political gibberish that shook the international atmosphere in Latin America and the rest of the world on June 26: “It can be described as testing political, in which there is an internal contradiction in MAS (Movement towards Socialism, a party created in 1997 and led by former President Evo Morales) Between Evism and Artsism has penetrated into the innermost fibres of the party.” A struggle that, he says, is reflected in the statements of radical supporters Evo Morales and the state response of the Arce governmentwho, as Minister of Economy and Public Finance, is recognized as the architect of the economic growth that the country has experienced under the Evista administration, and who took office as President of the Plurinational State in November 2020.
For an indigenous studies scholar, one thing is certain:
«The rule of law has been violated. Not against a person, because political events should not be built around a politician, but against everything that democracy in Bolivia represents: the party system and social democracy, which only yesterday were under threat of loss. In communities like El Altowhich is one of the most important centres of resistance in the countryside, containment measures, blockades and calls for local organisations to remember the 2003 uprising against the former president were activated. neoliberal Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada.”
Sánchez de Lozada resigned from his second term in October of that year. After the so-called October Massacre. in which 17 people died and in which El Alto was the center of the anti-regime movement.

Freddy Magno says people also have a renewed memory of what happened in 2019, when communities stood up for their rights before Arce took power. “What was being defended was not President Evo Morales as such, but rather the creation of a Bolivian indigenous subject.” In that testing On Wednesday, June 26, an indigenous rights expert said, the people’s reaction has been measured and what the right and other political forces can do with an eye on next year’s presidential elections.
“In the regional context, in this desire for natural resources, in the so-called Lithium triangleInternational interests are linked to the actors of colonial thought. The Bolivian military still enjoys certain privileges that many sectors do not have. Characters such as General (Juan José) Zúñiga correspond to the historical stage in which the colony still exists. The extreme right, the army and the police determined the actors in various historical processes. However, it is clear that the chain of command has been broken.”
The former official does not have time to figure out whether what happened on Wednesday in La Paz was an attempted coup or an event planned by the armed forces of Luis Arce.who remains in office as President of Bolivia.
