La Paz, January 13 (RHC)-- The former president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, has pointed to new evidence that proves the participation of Washington in the coup of November 19, 2019.
"New evidence ratifies the participation of the United States in the coup d'état that caused 38 deaths of indigenous brothers and sisters, persecutions, torture and extrajudicial executions," the Bolivian leader emphasized.
"The Bolivian people will never give up their demand for Memory, Truth and Justice," the former president said and demanded the U.S. embassy to make a statement on the participation of the Chargé d'Affaires, Bruce Williamson, in the act of self-proclamation of Jeanine Áñez.
On his Twitter account, Evo Morales said: "We demand that the U.S. embassy confirm or deny that the photo in which the former Chargé d'Affaires, Bruce Williamson, and the former Deputy Minister of Communications Management of the de facto government, Marco Aurelio Julio, was taken at the self-proclamation of Añez in the Legislative."
Bruce Williamson, U.S. Chargé d'Affaires to Bolivia (on the left, with his hand covering his mouth), sits and watches as Jeanine Añez declares herself president in November 2019.
For his part, journalist David Romero pointed out that this shows "the black hand of the Central Intelligence Agency once again; the same ones who ordered the persecution of Cuban doctors in Bolivia, and then went out to do "damage control."
On November 15, 2019, coup officials arrested in La Paz the head of the Cuban Medical Brigade in this nation, Dr. Yoandra Muro, and the person in charge of the logistics of that collective, Jacinto Alfonso. Cuban doctors were then forced to leave Bolivia and the patients they were treating, providing them with free health care.
Evo Morales has also denounced the interference of other countries in the coup d'état, among them Brazil, Argentina and Ecuador. Likewise, ten months after the coup d'état, the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights published a report on the different human rights violations registered in the South American country.
