| Nov 13, 2019 at 14:48 | comment | added | Roger | A good answer to certain questions, but not a good answer to this question. | |
| Nov 13, 2019 at 9:37 | comment | added | Max Rasguido | @nwellnhof do you keep the same opinion about the report given Luis Almagros outright fraud in every step on the process accusations on the OAS meeting held on Tuesday? (He didn't say irregularities, but fraud) | |
| Nov 12, 2019 at 21:21 | comment | added | user19831 | @Denis it may well - however you can do illegal things for the best of reasons (and note that I agree that the charges may well prove to be false. ) | |
| Nov 12, 2019 at 20:55 | comment | added | Denis de Bernardy | @Displayname: Respectfully disagree. If points to Morales -- however imperfect he was, and he certainly was imperfect -- not being the self-interested autocratic buffoon that his critics paint him to be. | |
| Nov 12, 2019 at 20:49 | comment | added | user19831 | I'm sorry, but the report of Morales achievements does not add anything to whether or not there was fraud. It's just nudge nudge wink wink. | |
| Nov 12, 2019 at 12:20 | comment | added | nwellnhof | Here are the English versions of the preliminary report and the press release. (I couldn't find any claim of outright fraud, only irregularities. This seems to be widely misreported.) | |
| Nov 11, 2019 at 19:11 | comment | added | Max Rasguido | Just to be clear, the direct quote from the military leader was “Nos sumamos al pedido del pueblo boliviano de sugerir al señor presidente Evo Morales presente su renuncia para pacificar al pueblo de Bolivia en estos duros momentos que atraviesa nuestra nación” which translates to "We adhere to the bolivian peoples petition of suggesting Evo Morales to resign in order to restore the peace in Bolivia on this hard times the country is going through". | |
| Nov 11, 2019 at 19:01 | comment | added | Denis de Bernardy | @MaxRasguido: As I wrote in the answer, I've honestly no idea of what's going on. I noticed the Jacobin post earlier this morning, and watched the Democracy Now segment this evening, but have little idea about what the specific claims being put forward are how trustworthy they are. That being said, the military calling a president to resign (which they did) is a military coup by any reasonable definition. | |

| Nov 11, 2019 at 18:40 | comment | added | Max Rasguido | I wanted to add the OAS report to the question, but didn't find a version in English. Here's the one in Spanish if you're interested. OAS Audit Preliminary Report. "but provided zero evidence to support the claim" that report presents evidence of flaws in the whole electoral process and some statistical analysis results for the trends in the vote count. It's yet a preliminary report, so that's why I said mostly proven instead of definitely proven. One of your links talks about a military coup? Can you expand on that? | |
