Some background on this coup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YyKCWKxBjI
this is why i'm pessimistic that brics will ever make any progress in latin american beyond what they've already achieved and even then, those achievements are actively being reversed as we speak.
brazil will be isolated from the rest of the americas in the same way that cuba and venezuela are and i expect that a south african reversal will spell doom for brazil and brics.
That's a five year old video.
You are wrong and stuck in time, we need to move on from Ego, I mean, Evo.
And support the US backed military coup in Bolivia?
Yeah the right took advantage of the chaos and legitimates themselves (with US approval and surely support). But be careful, military doesn't took power neither go outside with tanks, pointless to discus further. After that people recognized that shity government, them they show the support to Evo again in the election of his men Arce, actually president.
But what happens after that? Evo use his money and power to make that government to be hands tight. We all suffer the siege to cities with protest with the goal of validate Evo's "right" to be elected. For the 4th time. When his own constitution only allows to be reelected one time. People are tired of both of them. But also the fucking right that does nothing to improve things.
That's why someone without resources nor something brilliant or even populist discourse win. That's what is relevant. Not some guy that fails in establishing himself as a dictator or secure his power by force. So, if you point out that like something important in this election this isn't. Otherwise MAS party or Andronico AP would have more support but they don't. Neither Nule voting and you can't give that to this Ego-centric man and his delusions.
