• Resignation: Evo Morales resigns as president of Bolivia and denounces an illegal detention order against him
  • Bolivia After the resignation of Evo Morales in Bolivia, who assumes the power?

"Coup d'etat in Bolivia," the revolutionary Telesur and Venezuelan Television channels shouted during Evo Morales's cessation message on Sunday, without even allowing the indigenous leader time to explain his arguments with his habitual parsimony . Chavismo has not taken a single second to raise a new flag with repeated colors, it does not matter that it looks worn tones and the fabric is tattered by the scandalous electoral fraud confirmed by the OAS. A coup d'etat of oligarchs and racist businessmen, with foreign aid, would have ended the plurinational indigenous revolution.

" We categorically condemn the consummate coup d'etat against Brother President Evo Morales . The social and political movements of the world declare ourselves in mobilization to demand the preservation of the life of the Bolivian native peoples victims of racism," said Nicolas Maduro shortly after, consolidating what are these two "colors" of his new flag: the coup d'état against the Evo revolution, which helped so much to raise from its origin, and the supposed racism against the natives.

Maduro was joined very soon by Alberto Fernández, president-elect of Argentina and leader of the Puebla Group , with his complaint about the alleged coup d'etat. From Cuba, President Miguel Díaz-Canel sympathized with Evo and again denounced attacks "against democracy." And Rafael Correa, who weighs about twenty judicial proceedings, looked for similarities with the persecution he claims to suffer in his country. Even Russia got into the car of the denunciation of the coup.

In different messages through his social networks, Maduro insisted that "fascist mafias assault power" with the complicity of the OAS, which gave "the stab." Coup d'etat and racism, two key concepts in the dogma of the revolution . Maduro knew very well what he was talking about: he has denounced more than fifty invisible blows and accused his political rivals of burning African Americans in the protests (rejected by the Prosecutor's investigations), even of the alleged contempt against himself for being " son "of Negro Primero and the Indian Guacaipuro.

A story still under construction in Venezuela: the "colonial" monument of the lions of Caracas, which not only identifies the capital, but also its baseball team, was replaced by the statue of the indigenous Apacuana, who did not even live in the Caracas limits.

The euphoria that during the last weeks showed the Bolivarian revolution in each of its public appearances, in the heat of the continental protests and the victory of the Fernández in Argentina, became doubts in the last hours. The Andean clouds reached the Miraflores Palace , where they began to fear the outcome of Sunday, although they always opted for the most Numantine castling, in the faith and likeness of their own history. In 2013 Maduro prevented under similar circumstances any type of international audit, as Capriles claimed. The Union of South American States (Unasur) did the rest of the work, applauding elections full of vices and dark areas.

The red telephone between Caracas and La Paz burned on Sunday for solutions, but the die was cast. The loss of support and popular rebellion have ended in 21 days with the main ally of the subregion, faithful since he came to power 14 years ago. An ally whose image they helped build since it emerged as leader of the future for Bolivia and for the revolutionary International.

For History there are the constant gifts and entertainment of Hugo Chávez, from helicopters to make his great friend travel more comfortable to radio and television stations so that Evo rehearses with Aló, Andean president . In return, the unconditional support of Bolivia in all the estates , including in each of his trips to Caracas, during which he attacked the opponents of his two friends, as if it were an extension of his own opposition.

Evo Morales thus joins other heroes of the cause, such as Lula da Silva himself or Rafael Correa, although the most similar case for Chavismo is that of former Honduran President Mel Zelaya. On that occasion, after the military coup in Honduras against the former liberal leader, Maduro not only gave his full support to Zelaya , but also got on the plane of Petroleos de Venezuela with which they wanted to land by force in Tegucigalpa. Later, after losing the elections, he put him on revolutionary payroll.

The rejoicing of the release of Lula and the Puebla Group has not lasted so long, although neither Venezuelan nor Cuban are included in it. "The democratic hurricane in Latin America is felt!" Juan Guaidó replied , much sneer to celebrate the "great victory" for the Bolivian opposition friend. The protests that travel the continent like the Bolivarian breeze were baptized from Caracas.
