The influential Bolivian Minister of Government, Arturo Murillo, recently traveled to the United States, raising many questions, given his crucial role in the de-facto government.
Considered as one of the most perverse and closely linked to the coup plotters and the U.S. embassy, the official met in Washington with Luis Almagro.
It is still not clear if he sought advice from the OAS secretary general on how to sabotage the October 18th elections in Bolivia, to hinder the efforts of the opposition Movement for Socialism to return to the Palacio Quemado.
It is common knowledge that the OAS fabricated the argument of fraud in the October 2019 elections, which saw the victory of former President Evo Morales. Subsequent investigations dismantled this fallacy from which Almagro is trying to defend himself, who could now help the de-facto government, headed by the self-proclaimed president Jeanine Áñez.
The coup president, who has now withdrawn her presidential candidacy for the upcoming elections, in view of the lack of support, confessed her concern for the options provided by Movement for Socialism.
She has spearheaded racist attempts to legally invalidate Evo Morales and members of his party, in order to neutralize his rise to the government, but she is still unhappy with the reults.
Now Arturo Murillo -- her right-hand man -- is tying up loose ends in Washington, in the face of an alleged conspiracy against orderly and transparent elections in Bolivia.
The support of Luis Almagro and the United States for the 2019 coup d'état gives hope to the right-wing radicals. That gave good reason for the government minister to pay a visit to Washington, where according to some analysts, he could also negotiate a possible evasion of any forthcoming charges against him for illegal actions.
Another reason for Luis Almagro to warmly receive his right-wing buddy from La Paz.
