Áñez herself did face accusations of abusing power during her short term. Critics said that the Roman Catholic who brought the Bible back to government proceedings after Morales secularized them was a little too fast to use state security forces to quash indigenous protests around the country. But did she really plot a coup?

But now that Morales is back, some fear political vengeance will follow.

Morales isn’t in power you buffoon

The charges are broad and proof scant. According to officials, the charges Ánez and several of her ministers face are terrorism, sedition and conspiracy to commit a coup – accusations they have rejected fiercely, with Anez herself describing the charges as an act of “political persecution.”

We’re really going to just leave out what the charges for terrorism are about huh. Extrajudicial killings? Meh. No proof

🤡: uncritically cites this quote from an arrested former government minister

We are sure that this is just a smokescreen to hide the terrible management of the pandemic," Guzmán said.

The only question is what took them so long.

Probably making sure they had a case because they knew Santa Cruz would get out of hand regardless, also waiting until she lost her election

In relation to dipshits still pretending the OAS report of election rigging was ever anything other than bullshit:

https://cepr.net/press-release/no-evidence-that-bolivian-election-results-were-affected-by-irregularities-or-fraud-statistical-analysis-shows/

From article: "Contrary to a postelection narrative that was supported, without evidence, by the OAS Electoral Observation Mission, statistical analysis shows that it was predictable that Morales would obtain a first-round win, based on the results of the first 83.85 percent of votes in a rapid count that showed Morales leading runner-up Carlos Mesa by less than 10 points.

The new paper, “What Happened in Bolivia’s 2019 Vote Count? The Role of the OAS Electoral Observation Mission,” presents a step-by-step breakdown of what happened with Bolivia’s vote counts (both the unofficial quick count, and the slower official count), seeking to dispel confusion over the process. The report includes the results of 500 simulations that show that Morales’s first-round victory was not just possible, but probable, based on the results of the initial 83.85 percent of votes in the quick count.

“There is simply no statistical or evidentiary basis to dispute the vote count results showing that Evo Morales won in the first round,” CEPR Senior Policy Analyst, and coauthor of the paper, Guillaume Long said. “In the end, the official count, which is legally binding and completely transparent, with the tally sheets available online, closely matched the rapid count results.”
