Evo Morales
FORMER Bolivian president Evo Morales warned today of a “Condor II” campaign, backed by the US and the European Union, being waged to destabilise progressive governments across Latin America.
He accused the EU representative to Bolivia of actively participating in the November 2019 coup that drove him from power and forced him to flee the country amid allegations of voter fraud that were later proved unfounded.
The 27-member neoliberal economic bloc was quick to recognise the government of Jeanine Anez, appointed by the military soon after, while the European Parliament refused to call the ousting of Mr Morales a coup.
