"Pachamama will never return to the palace... Bolivia belongs to Christ," said coup leader Luis Fernando Camacho, a far-right multi-millionaire who arose from fascist movements in #Bolivia.

There's misinformation regarding racist statements my president allegedly said. Key points:

1. This is not in her tweet history
2. The context of other tweets from that day don't support the allegation

Proverio još juče. Ukucaš Tesla stocks pa vidiš da veze nema sa Moralesovim odlaskom, osim ako kupci akcija ne dobijaju neke tajne kominikee.

 "Halo? Majk? Mogu li te zvati Majk, Majk? Pogodi šta držim u rukama? Tvoj novi gliser, eto šta. Ne, naravno da ne držim čamac u rukama, već tvoj put do njega, Majk, i to za samo trideset dana. Šta ti znače pojmovi Bolivija i litijum?..."

Akcije su skočile, i nastavile da skaču u danima nakon toga, 23. oktobra kada je Tesla objavila iznenađujuće visok profit u kvartalnom izveštaju.

Mislim ako ćemo posle cele priče o CIA, dominama, Brazilu, da svedemo puč na kontrolu nad litijumom...

What is political freedom?
British philosophy: liberties not being infringed upon.
French philosophy: people's participation in politics.
German philosophy: development of social consciousness.
American philosophy: a right wing coup selling off State assets to American companies.

Bolivia’s growing crisis turns deadly as 5 killed in clash

SACABA, Bolivia (AP) — Bolivia’s political crisis turned deadly after security forces opened fire on supporters of Evo Morales in a central town, killing at least five people, injuring dozens and threatening the interim government’s efforts to restore stability following the resignation of the former president in an election dispute.

Most of the dead and injured Friday in Sacaba near the city of Cochabamba suffered bullet wounds, Guadalberto Lara, director of the town’s Mexico Hospital, told The Associated Press. He called it the worst violence he’s seen in his 30-year career.

Angry demonstrators and relatives of the victims gathered at the site of the shootings, chanting: “Civil war, now!”

Morales, who was granted asylum in Mexico after his resignation Sunday, said on Twitter that a “massacre” had occurred and he described Bolivia’s government led by interim President Jeanine Áñez as a dictatorship.

“Now they are killing our brothers in Sacaba, Cochabamba,” he said in another tweet.

Protesters said police fired when demonstrators, including many coca leaf growers who backed Bolivia’s first indigenous president, tried to cross a military checkpoint. Emeterio Colque Sánchez, a 23-year-old university student, said he saw the dead bodies of several protesters and about two-dozen people rushed to hospitals, many covered in blood.

Earlier in the day, Áñez said Morales would face possible legal charges for election fraud if he returns home from Mexico City, even as the ousted leader contended he is still president since the country’s legislature has not yet approved his resignation. Bolivia’s interim leader also said Morales would not be allowed to participate in new presidential elections meant to heal the Andean nation’s political standoff.

Morales stepped down on Sunday following nationwide protests over suspected vote-rigging in an Oct. 20 election in which he claimed to have won a fourth term in office. An Organization of American States audit of the vote found widespread irregularities. Morales has denied there was fraud.

Families of the victims held a candlelight vigil late Friday in Sacaba. A tearful woman put her hand on a wooden casket surrounded by flowers and asked: “Is this what you call democracy? Killing us like nothing?” Another woman cried and prayed in Quechua over the coffin of Omar Calle, which was draped in the Bolivian national flag and the multicolor “Wiphala” flag that represents indigenous peoples.

Bolivia’s Ombudsman’s Office said it regretted the deaths during the joint police-military operation and called on the interim government to investigate if the security forces had acted within the constitution and international protocols on human rights.

“We express our alarm and concern over the result of an attempt to stop a demonstration by coca leaf growers from entering the city of Cochabamba,” it said.

Presidency Minister Jerjes Justiniano told reporters in La Paz that five people had been killed and an estimated 22 were injured. Lara, the hospital director, said that 75 people were injured.

Justiniano called for a dialogue with all parties involved in the conflict.
