Evo Morales’ party held Jeanine ñez responsible for 2019 deaths but 15 died before her inauguration

A report of Interdisciplinary group of independent experts (GIEI) made it clear that many people who died during protests in Bolivia in 2019 lost their lives before taking care of Jeanine ñez. This implies that the interim president has no responsibility for all these deaths, reason why she is accused and in jail.

In the last three months of 2019, at least 37 people lost their lives due to the crisis resulting from the elections which gave the winner to Evo Morales, who had to leave the country accused of fraud.

The Official Movement for Socialism (MAS) insists on attributing all deaths to former President Añez. However, depending on the chronology of events, 15 people died before he came to power.

According to Seventh page, the GIEI report found the responsibility of the government of Añez for the massacres of Sacaba and Senkata which left 20 dead. In addition, he marked two events in which two other people died during his tenure. However, 10 others lost their lives due to events during the power vacuum and five died under Evo Morales’ tenure.

Consulted by the aforementioned media, the analyst Lamb Carlos He said that “there is a speech (by the ruling party) that tries to position that in Bolivia there was a coup and that the main culprit of the coup and the whole crisis that ‘he could bring is Jeanine Añez, with the intention of creating a culprit on whom to assume all the responsibilities. It’s an old communication strategy that comes from authoritarian governments, which use propaganda to position their ideas ”.

Further, he stated that an attempt is made to show Evo Morales as a victim and a defender of the truth; and that, in this sense, the facts of human rights violations, such as the cases of La Calancha and El Porvenir, judicial manipulation to ignore the popular will and others, remain in oblivion.

Meanwhile, the political scientist Paul Coca, said in dialogue with Seventh page: “Blaming Jeanine Añez is the easiest thing for MAS. The logic they have from government, not just as a party, is that you will never admit your mistakes. The MAS will not accept under any circumstances that it bears responsibility for what has happened and for the political tension that we are experiencing at this precise moment ”.
