Bolivia coup led by Christian fascist paramilitary leader and millionaire – with foreign support



Bolivian coup leader Luis Fernando Camacho is a far-right multi-millionaire who arose from fascist movements in the Santa Cruz region, where the US has encouraged separatism. He has courted support from Colombia, Brazil, and the Venezuelan opposition.

When Luis Fernando Camacho stormed into Bolivia’s abandoned presidential palace in the hours after President Evo Morales’s sudden November 10 resignation, he revealed to the world a side of the country that stood at stark odds with the plurinational spirit its deposed socialist and Indigenous leader had put forward.

With a Bible in one hand and a national flag in the other, Camacho bowed his head in prayer above the presidential seal, fulfilling his vow to purge his country’s Native heritage from government and “return God to the burned palace.”

“Pachamama will never return to the palace,” declared the pastor to his side, referring to the Andean Mother Earth spirit. “Bolivia belongs to Christ.”



. . .

Virtually unknown outside his country, where he had never won a democratic election, Camacho stepped into the void. He is a powerful multi-millionaire named in the Panama Papers, and an ultra-conservative Christian fundamentalist groomed by a fascist paramilitary notorious for its racist violence, with a base in Bolivia’s wealthy separatist region of Santa Cruz.

1. $$$ and many "good" americans

including some on DU are only interested in what the bad socialist did,
not what took over.

2. So sad. They refuse to learn what has happened in the country, to know who the people are,

to know anything beyond the headline and programmed, pre-digested material prepared for U.S. audiences.

They are fed garbage and kept in the dark, like mushrooms, and so few of them have the interest in looking for more information.

They build their positions on the lies fed to them by propagandists and never try to find out what's behind it.

That's OK for three or four year olds, but clearly not for responsible men and women. If they ignore the truth forever they will grow into very old stupid people.
