The plot is unfolding. The right in Bolivia, based in the department of
Santa Cruz, intends to proclaim its candidate, Carlos Mesa, as President,
ignoring the results of Sunday’s elections that gave Evo Morales a clear
victory - an obvious coup attempt backed by a few governments in the region
and that of the United States.

Faced with this situation, Evo issued a call: "To my colleagues and the
Bolivian people, to my sisters and brothers, to organize, prepare, and we
will defend democracy," PL reported.

The President stressed that he is confidently waiting for the Supreme
Electoral Tribunal (TSE) to issue its final report.

Meanwhile, the opposition called a civic strike in Santa Cruz, and stated
that they will ignore the constitutional government of Morales and install
what they called "a new constitutional President."

For her part, the president of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal, María
Eugenia Choque, insisted that she “has nothing to hide" and guaranteed the
transparency of the vote, rejecting allegations of fraud by candidate
Carlos Mesa and sectors that support him.

The transparency of the elections was highlighted by the Cuban Foreign
Minister, Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, in his remarks at the preparatory
ministerial meeting for the 18th Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement: “We
congratulate the people and government of Bolivia for the transparency of
the electoral process they have conducted. We congratulate President Evo
Morales for the preliminary results obtained, which confirm decisive
popular support for his government, results that we expect to be
confirmed.” He denounced the campaign of misinformation, destabilization,
and violence underway, staged by sectors of the opposition and instigated
by the United States, threatening the peace and security of citizens in
Bolivia.
