Apparently it's kind of a coup- all the Ministers  resignedone by one, Morales left a letter of resignation in the President's palace and escaped. His plane was seen above rural areas, reportedly he's escaping to Argentina. This is according to Israeli journalist Nadav Eyal.

From Morales' wikipedia:

Quote
In November 2017, the Supreme Tribunal of Justice of Bolivia ruled that—in contrast to the constitution—all public offices would have no term limits, blaming American imperialism and influence for the referendum's outcome, thus allowing Morales to run for a fourth term.

Yes.... seems like a very professional court....

The victimization language of leftists like this guy and Lee Carter is wrong. Yes, the coup is bad, and it should be pointed out and condemned, and if I was President of the U.S. I'd hopefully act to try and stop right-wing authoritarians from taking power instead. But speaking as if Morales was some god-like, successful people's hero is just unfourtunate. No offense, but this I hoped that this thread would be informative and give us a good rundown of the events that happened- instead, it's just another ideological argument trying to paint a picture in which Morales is an angle.

Hopefully, whoever the new rulers are, they keep The Church in mind.  And there is not biolence.

And what acts should they do while keeping the Church in mind? Because for now, they seem to be keeping it in mind:



If bigotry, racism and religious oppression is how the Church in wants to be kept in mind, then the Church is evil.

The Mexican Foreign Minister confirms Morales has boarded a plane sent by his government, he should land in Mexico (he'll recieve asylum there) in the next few hours.

Good.

Hopefully for the people of Bolivia, this is resolved without too much bloodshed and without an authoritarian government, or a racist one.
