1: Bolivia summary thread • 'Civicos' are split, two big regions opposed to Camachos maximalism • opposition is more and more divided; but more violent • Bolivian police have not intervened to quell the protests with opposition roadblocks maintained in wealthy areas
2: Bolivia • Carlos Mesa is losing his role in the movement; hasn't been visible in the media; wasn't there to receive Camacho when he first tried to get into La Paz • opposition protests growing increasingly violent and more radical (as seen in lyching of Mayor of Vinto)
3: Bolivia • Camacho is the leader of the Comite Civico Pro Santa Cruz. He is acting as leader of the opposition at this point; radicalizing the protests & saying that there shouldn't be any sort of second round or redo of the vote, just the ousting of President Evo Morales.
4: Bolivia • Camacho wrote a 'letter of resignation' for Evo & said he'll present it to him personally • he tried to go to La Paz but social movements surrounded the airport • he's brought religion back to politics; has a bible at every speech, says that god is on his side
5: Bolivia • The government acquiesced to two big demands: a) the audit (which used to be their demand, is no longer) b) they also agreed to receive Camacho Illustration of what Civic committees have done w/Carlos Mesa & co who are losing their role to the real far-rightpic.twitter.com/ECh61rW5Kv
(I'm travelling today, had to start the quick thread before departing. I'll continue early Friday)
Is there a chart / table of election results in Bolivia by municipal median income or something of the sort? Has the opposition any support in working class or poor rural areas areas?
Yes, you can look here by municipality. In all the mining towns (e.g. Uncia, Llallagua) and indigenous villages (e.g. Palca, Yapacani) MAS won in those places by crushing majorities. https://computo.oep.org.bo/#
This is a mayor from one of Bolivia’s cities, this how the extremists on the “opposition” speaks. Pure and vile Fascists. They have no principles nor human values.pic.twitter.com/BkWHG3Hrsi
This ain't happening in Bolivia. The "oppositors" that are actually bolivian people defending their democracy are more united than ever. Neither the protesters or the protests are more violent, people who follow Evo Morales use violence and bombs to break these pacific protests
