Well, there was a touch of a fig leaf until Morales agreed to fresh elections and the right-wing opposition achieved a Trump level of transparent bullshit by forcing him into exile and doing an end run around the legislature.

calling her the vice president of the Senate is no longer accurate afaik, they confirmed her as president of the country yesterday?

so that's great

edit although I guess referring to her by her former / legit title is a sick own amd i support it

How did she get appointed. Looking into the Bolivian constitution after a tweet from Morales, and article 169 clearly shows the line of succession is Vice President - President of the the Senate - President of the Chamber of Deputies.

It looks like the opposition just chose their own succession contrary to the constitution they held so sacred.

unlike the left, the right never cared about human rights or laws or other bullshit, op. media is just doing its job by pointing out hypocrisy

clearly, the takeaway here is to declare that you're going to throw all nazis into sinkholes before doing it and then it's all cool and above board, rather than doing it after talking about human rights and socialisms

I looked into further he was the last in line as President of the Chamber of Deputies. There doesn’t seem to be any provision for all 4 being removed from office at the same time. I guess in that case it falls to whoever calls dibs first.
