WAS IT A “COUP” IN BOLIVIA? YOU CAN CALL A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME BUT IT’S STILL GONNA BE A ROSE

What happened in Bolivia conforms to the classic coup strategy that has played out scores of times in Latin America. An important faction of the military is “institutionalist” and committed to democracy. But their mission is to maintain order, so that all the ultra-right has to do is to create disorder on the streets and the military steps in. Luis Fernando Camacho and company with much previous planning prior to the coup (which is why Carlos Mesa announced prior to the elections that he wouldn’t accept the results) stirred up enough disruption and chaos so that everything else fell in place. In carrying out this strategy the hard liners in Bolivia, as elsewhere, have an invaluable ally in the corporate media.
