Bolivia Newton-John

Mary Anastasia O'Grady sobre las elecciones presidenciales del 6 de diciembre en Bolivia.

Insisto, nunca me voy a olvidar del enorme entusiasmo de tanta gente ante la llegada al poder del esperpentos de Morales:

A dictatorship that fosters the production and distribution of cocaine is not apt to enjoy a positive international image. But when that same government cloaks itself in the language of social justice, with a special emphasis on the enfranchisement of indigenous people, it wins world-wide acclaim.

This is Bolivia, which in two weeks will hold elections for president and both houses of congress. The government of President Evo Morales will spin the event as a great moment in South American democracy. In fact, it will mark the official end of what's left of Bolivian liberty after four years of Morales rule.
