Evo Morales and MAS are attacking. A player against the rules of the game? A political essay.
Evo Morales tried to achieve the electoral victory in Bolivia in 2019.
However, he has already been in the presidency twice. That is, Evo Morales broke in 2019 the rule of two terms. This is the FIRST VIOLATION of the player - of Evo Morales and of the MAS movement he leads.
The Organization of American States found irregularities in the conduct of the election results. This is the SECOND VIOLATION of the rules of the game.
Protests began against the announcement of Evo Morales as President-elect of Bolivia. Evo Morales announced his resignation. Further, all officials from MAS announced their resignation.
This is the most interesting moment!
Nobody asks the question: how legal was such a collective resignation? Was this collective resignation the result of collective intent? After such a collective intent and collective action, did MAS become a criminal organization that committed a crime of treason? (I am not familiar with the Criminal legislation of Bolivia, but I suppose that the punishment for treason (or similar actions in the sense) are provided for in the legislation of any country).
Of course, there is no court verdict yet, and the court has not recognized MAS as a criminal organization.
But, nevertheless, the act of collective resignation, which has vacated many posts, is a kind of illegal political strike of senior officials. And such an illegal political strike - in accordance with a common understanding of duty, an oath, the foundations of the Constitution - cannot be recognized as a correct, legal act.
In general, this is the THIRD VIOLATION of the rules of the game.
Further, after the formation of the interim government under the leadership of Jeanine Añez - in accordance with the constitution of Bolivia - protests break out. Who organized them? MAS? There is no judicial act, which would establish the organizer of the riots ... In any case, this is the FOURTH VIOLATION of the rules of the game ...
The interim government under the leadership of Jeanine Añez reacted to this violation by ordering to protect the rights of citizens, order and, if necessary, use force to restore order. That is, shoot to kill. Approximately 20 people were killed. Order was restored.
But there are humane people who are condescending to Evo Morales - after all, he is a man of the people. Let's forgive him for educational purposes ...
And Jeanine Añez herself is not a cruel person. At a critical moment, she gave the necessary order, and then, when the situation calmed down, sought civil peace and a compromise ... MAS returned to the state apparatus, continued to occupy important positions, and won the 2020 elections ...
So there is a player, there are rules.
The player is against the rules ...
The player was forgiven for his wrong actions for educational and humane purposes ...
They forgiven?
Very well!
Now the player invites a representative, the representative goes to court and demands the punishment of those who defended the rules and insisted on following them.
The violator of the rules has cleverly turned into a seeker of justice!
Search for the civil peace! Search for humanity as a principle! A humane European civilization!
