WILL THE PEOPLE OF BOLIVIA REVERSE THE US-SUPPORTED COUP AGAINST EVO MORALES?

This is huge: tens of thousands of union members, indigenous people, and rural farmers are descending on the Bolivian capital of La Paz to protect the democratically elected socialist government of Evo Morales from the violent right-wing coup rocking the country https://t.co/rgbOOuqXVD

This is a huge march to support Bolivia's democratically elected President Evo Morales, against the coup

Note how the demonstrators are largely Indigenous, unlike the elite right-wing opposition gangs who are burning Indigenous flagspic.twitter.com/H1RGZV1Ge6

People haven't given up in Bolivia following the coup. The indigenous city of El Alto, next to La Paz, is still fighting. Anti-coup protesters have been setting up road blocks last night and this morning. This is the district 'Ex Tranca' (vid: @RoseugeH) pic.twitter.com/ZQWm3wesrE

Bolivian feminists denounce the coup d'etat in #Bolivia.

"This is a fundamentalist coup, because it proposes returning the Bible to the governing palace."

"They are burning the offices of the Indigenous & campesino social organizations."https://t.co/kCTwj8rdZg

People outside of Bolivia are showing their solidary and calling for the return of Evo Morales to power.

Two presidential candidates have called for an end to the coup and return to power by Evo Morales. First to do so was Howie Hawkins of the Green Party:

We oppose the collapse of rule of law and due process that is being perpetrated by right-wingers that want to dismantle the material gains won by the indigenous people of Bolivia and of its socialists. We applaud AMLO's offer of asylum and we hope for Evo Morales' safety. pic.twitter.com/gJIsWZjFNS

Senator Bernie Sanders has also denounced the coup:

“Calling for an 'End to Violence,' Bernie Sanders Becomes First 2020 Democratic Presidential Contender to Criticize Bolivian Coup... The people of Bolivia deserve free, fair, and peaceful elections,". #HumanRights #democracy #Bernie2020 https://t.co/3VVQvGHZBm

The world knows this was a US-supported coup:

Let us be very clear in our words. Evo is nothing but the democratically-elected president. What we’ve just witnessed is nothing but a coup. The forces now looting Bolivia & attacking the poor are not protestors, but armed terrorists. A fascist takeover in broad daylight. https://t.co/Q8o8WtGj70

Resignation of Bolivia’s Evo Morales was no victory for democracy, but a US-sponsored coup

This is a coup. This is a coup against the arrival of the indigenous people’s of Bolivia to the forefront of history. @evoespueblo is the standard-bearer of generations of indigenous socialists. His removal is the return of the old oligarchy. Condemn. #ElMundoConEvo

Venezuelan President @NicolasMaduro to the Bolivian right-wing: "So now what do you think you are going to do with all the people who voted for @evoespueblo? Do you think you can just defeat them like that? Well, guess what... you won't because they have over 500 years resisting! pic.twitter.com/eci1tBe3jC

US coup leaders stick together. Here is a Venezuelan coup leader meeting with a Bolivian coup leader just as the regime change campaign was about to begin.

The coup is being condemned by world leaders and social movements.

Acabo de saber que houve um golpe de estado na Bolívia e que o companheiro @evoespueblo foi obrigado a renunciar. É lamentável que a América Latina tenha uma elite econômica que não saiba conviver com a democracia e com a inclusão social dos mais pobres.

The Mexican government said it recognizes Evo Morales as the "legitimate" president of Bolivia, denouncing that his resignation was due to a "coup" carried out by the army, which it described as a serious setback for the region. https://t.co/EHMoeoV0qV

I'm shocked!  The US media is failing to report that the resignation of Evo Morales was a coup by calling it a “resignation”.

There's literally not a single thing about the violence and military rule taking place in Bolivia that is about restoration of democracy.

Everything that's happening is about an end to democracy there: a classic coup.

It's astonishing US media outlets won't call it that: https://t.co/7Lcii1HEzC

Corporate media dutifully reports an upside down reality to protect global capitalism & provide cover for another right-wing coup.

There were no voting irregularities in Bolivia to support the claim that the election result was disputed:

Whatever his record as President, ballot stuffing is wrong.
so this take on Bolivia by the Labour leader is truly startling. The Organisation of American States found a "heap of observed irregularities" in the October 20 election and said a new vote should be held. https://t.co/wnnnWHBQjU
