Evo Morales, the former President of Bolivia, is finally outside of his home continent after a long operation by Mexican authorities.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Yesterday afternoon, a team of diplomats departed to Lima, Peru on a Gulfstream G550 registered as XC-LOK.

After refueling in Peru, the G550 departed for Bolivia, where Evo was picked up. The plane continued heading south towards Paraguay as authorities across Latin America denied the G550 entry into their airspace. Later on at around 4AM today, Brazil and Peru opened up their airspace.

It is unclear if Evo is actually aboard XC-LOK, though the Mexican foreign affairs secretary claims he is heading to Mexico and was authorized entry into Brazilian airspace abroad a “Mexican government jet.” Given XC-LOK is the only “XC” registered jet flying around South America, it’s fair to assume Evo is aboard it.

The Mexican government broke safety regulations by having the pilots exceed the number of flight hours per day allowed.

Soon to be seen on the Mediterranean expatriate despot-playboy circuit ... tanned, gold-decked, fat and happy.

This is a great preview of if Donald Trump loses his election and refuses to vacate his office.

Also a real socialist would go to Cuba.

We all know that real socialists have access to G550s

The Mercedes and the Gulfstream, of course.

I bet he’s having a second meal service at the moment.

Dictator is stretching it. Court decisions aren’t illegitimate because we don’t agree with them.

Well, NGOs are claiming there are credible reports of fraud, and he did loo se an election just prior to the court decision that removed term limits. Maybe not a dictator but he was an authoritarian leader. It doesn’t mean he was bad for people... Hell, I don’t have high expectations for the military government that will probably be put in place.

I don’t find the claims of the OAS to be particularly credible. This article goes into some depth about it:

https://www.thenation.com/article/bolivia-election-oas/

Turning to the courts to void the results of the referendum is certainly a sketchy move, but it doesn’t seem to be actually outside the bounds of legality. And the constitutional court there is democratically elected, as I understand it.

I think it is also a good idea to suspect US involvement in any military coup in South America, given our history in the region. It’s probably no coincidence that Bolivia contains about half the world’s lithium reserves, which Morales intended to nationalize .

It is a very convoluted situation. Evidently Evo needs to be safe because he still is an important figure and had he stayed in Bolivia he might’ve been murdered. It doesn’t help that South America is very much divided politics wise and he wasn’t able to scape in his own jet.

As for a US involvement... I’m not entirely convinced because if the US was involved Mexico wouldn’t be able to offer Evo asylum without facing huge consequences... but it’s not something that could be discarded... there’s a fair chance they played a role in making the military rebel against Evo.

But if there are elections in Bolivia, and the winner isn’t some right wing nut... we could assume this was an organic movement because Evo was abusing of  his authority.

Yes, but also.... thanks Bolsanaro?

We thought the first country to break would be Argentina but it was... Brazil...

People are starting to doubt Evo is in the plane at all.

In most republics, the courts can’t just override the Constitution.

Also, unions in Bolivia asked him to step down.

Ask yourself why you disagree with the wishes of Bolivian labor unions.

I guess they could cut over to Ascension or Saint Helena for refueling, if the British would allow it. Save 1200 miles or so vs going to the African mainland.

The Brazilian and Peruvians opened their airspace today at around 4AM. We don’t know if XC-LOK continues to carry Evo Morales or if he stayed in Paraguay.

The jet is going straight north

Who knew that importing an Evo would have so much red tape?!

At least he’s left-hand drive. Like, way left.

Morales is not faultless. But nothing he’s done rises to the level of a dictatorship, nor does it justify our intervention.

I read more upon it; OAS complain goes beyond the quick count going off line. Plus, Evo had won the previous 3 elections with more than 60% of the vote, on this one he got close to 47% and barely above the threshold to avoid a runoff.

I’m not gonna say Evo is 100% bad; but he’s certainly a morally complicated person. I also stand by my country’s decision to give him asylum. Its imperative that he stays alive or else a civil war could start, and clearly the country is not equipped to trial him fairly for possible fraud and corruption at the moment.

Let’s just hope that  the wall keeps him from going too far north.

Yeah, i t’s clear his support was eroding, and there is fault on his part in not finding or trusting someone to succeed him. My problem is the likely intervention of the US, and the way events are being pretty blatantly distorted by most of the media.

This is a better preview of when Trump’s second term will be up. Will he try to change the law to become Emperor of the American Empire? Probably.

The more analytical media here is quick to caution that:
A. T here was a coup
B. Rescuing Evo is consistent with Mexican foreign policy
C. Evo was an authoritarian leader, and there’s a huge possibility that he commited fraud.
