Keep Evo Morales Out of U.S. Courts!

 

Imagine a scenario where armed protestors, commanded by a coca-producing leader and his cohorts, block all access roads to a Latin American capital city, disrupting the safe passage of fuel and needed supplies to its residents. Imagine a President who, acting within his Constitutional duty, orders the military to escort fuel tankers into the capital city. Tensions heighten and violence erupts. The first shots - as confirmed by the U.S. State Department - came from those led by the cocalero, whose self-proclaimed mission is to topple a democratically-elected government. Tragically, there are deaths on both sides. Imagine no more. This is the drama that could play out in a federal court in Miami.

Sanchez de Lozada Interview: "it was a coup".

So you could you safely say that this was a sort of civilian coup in the sense that, before in Latin America you had a lot of experience with military coups in which of course, the military would go in and force the president to resign. In this case you had a part of the civilian population essentially do the same and force a constitutional president to resign so do you believe there was an interruption of democratic constitutional order at the time?

 

And that’s what I said in my letter of resignation, I said that there was no other choice and that the congress shouldn’t accept my being forced out. And there’s no doubt it was a coup, it was an insurgency, but it was well financed and well planned-and well armed! There was a lot of police killed by gunfire, of course that’s always forgotten but many people fell also were killed from the back so we don’t know how many victims pending investigation.
