SACP Strongly Condemns the Coup in Bolivia
12 November 2019
The South African Communist Party (SACP) joins the freedom-loving people of the world in condemning the imperialist-driven coup in the Plurinational State of Bolivia. This coup amounts to a suppression of the Bolivian people’s right to national sovereignty and self-determination.
The presidency of Evo Morales, the first indigenous leader of his own country, Bolivia, had markedly improved the lives of the people, ensuring freedom and self-sustenance. Morales had overseen the radical upliftment of the people and continued to engage himself and mobilise the people in the struggle against imperialism. His practical interpretation of democracy as the further economic and social development of the people as a whole, and not merely a few rich elites, clearly troubled the bourgeoisie and imperialist forces, the confessed architects of the coup. Morales’ contribution to the anti-imperialist struggle provided, and will definitely continue to provide, much needed protection to the entire Latin American region against political, economic and military aggression by the imperialists.
The SACP will continue to wage the internationalist struggle against imperialism and calls upon more people of the world to actively fight against imperialism. The intensification of imperialist aggression in Latin America should be seen as one of the signs of the imperialists to treat the people as nothing but their slaves, and as such our unity under working class internationalism must be strengthened.
Before the coup, President Morales was making preparations for fresh election to be held. The democratic, credible, free and fair election must happen. The political rights of the Movement for Socialism – Political Instrument for the Sovereignty of the Peoples, also known as the Movement Toward Socialism or the Movement to Socialism, must be fully protected. Accordingly, President Morales’ right to stand as the movement’s Presidential candidate, as the choice of the people, must be fully protected.
