Bolivian UN Diplomat Reiterates OAS Role in Bolivian 2019 Coup

Published 2 April 2021

Bolivian diplomat Diego Pary reiterated that the Organization of American States (OAS) played a fundamental role in the November 2019 coup d'état in his country, local media highlighted on Friday.

Pary, who represents Bolivia at the United Nations, recalled that the biased and partial report of the OAS on alleged irregularities in the vote count during the 2019 elections provided the excuse to break with the constitutional order.

Speaking to Bolivia TV, the UN diplomat specified that the coup was planned and executed with the support of the police and the army, the political right-wing and violent groups.

These institutions' actions and the violence in the streets were backed by the OAS and other governments that went along with the narrative of electoral fraud, thus ignoring Evo Morales' victory at the polls for a new presidential term.
