La Paz, October 7 (RHC)-- The former president of Bolivia, Evo Morales Ayma, denounced on Twitter that the strike called by right-wing groups for October 10th and 11th constitutes the revenge of the coup perpetrators against the popular sectors that defeated the coup d'état of 2019 at the polls -- adding that the people will defeat them once again.

In messages published on his Twitter account, the leader of the Movement Towards Socialism-People's Sovereignty Political Instrument (MAS-IPSP) said the organizers of that right-wing mobilization were "confessed coup plotters (who) seek impunity with threats and attacks against democracy."

Evo said that instead of "Unity Bloc," they should be called "Impunity Bloc" -- since their real intention is that justice is not done regarding the human rights violations that occurred in the country in the context of the coup d'état and during the de facto government.

"They call themselves the 'Unity Bloc' but in reality they are the 'Impunity Bloc.'  None of their members ever won an election, they perpetrated the coup, stole and massacred, but claim to defend democracy.  They use civilian groups to force a cynical strike.  They will be defeated by the people."

The former Bolivia president said that with the call to paralyze the nation, they are attacking the economy of the humble people and seek political credit that they have not obtained through the electoral vote.

Evo assured that the people will defeat these so-called civic leaders who claim to defend democracy, and informed that popular organizations, gathered around the Estado Mayor del Pueblo, are closely following the situation and remain mobilized.

In another message, the Bolivian leader recalled that the people will attend on Tuesday, October 12th, in the city of Cochabamba to a massive rally in defense of democracy, the cultural democratic revolution, the Whipala and the process of changes being advanced by the government of President Luis Arce.

Numerous workers, peasants, indigenous and youth organizations have expressed their intention to join this mass rally, which will take place in the San Sebastian square, starting at 10:00 local time.

On October 4, representatives of the right wing held a meeting in Santa Cruz in which they decided to call for a national strike, supposedly to protest against what they called unconstitutional laws and political persecution by the current administration.
