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)
Carlos Mesa WAS there to recieve Camacho, the police didn't let him pass, violating international airport rights and rules. Opposition protests are being attacked by Evo Morales followers and poeple who are forced to go to break pacific protests with violence
