Latin Americans Challenge Impunity

It is wrong to include Goni's name in the same league as Pinochet, the Argentinian Junta, or Fujimori.

Evo Morales had set a violent siege to the city despite being a member of congress. The measures taken by Goni to repress the marchers, who by this time started looting and burning public and private property, are no different to those currently employed by the Morales administration. Proof of that is that the death toll being suffered by the social movements is higher under Evo than under Goni.

Even the premise of the protest were nothing but a machiavellian political gambit by the opposition. The reforms enacted under the first administration were extremely succesful. Proof of that was given extensively by Evo's speech in Sucre on Aug 6th. Most of the results he took credit for were actually thanks to the capitalization. Further evidence is Evo's expansion of the Bonosol program. There extensive studies by the CAF, BID, WB, UMSA, UCB that show that Goni's other measures such as the reforma educativa, municipal decentralization, and even privatization were hugely sucessfull.

The most dammning evidence that condemns the political operatives behind the siege of La Paz is: Cochabamba's water supply is in even greater jeopardy, extreme fuel and energy shortages, lack of foreign investment.

It is not clear whether the first comments ("It is wrong to include") are written by someone deliberately trying to rewrite history, or someone who is hopelessly misinformed because his/her news comes exclusively from Fox.
I am breathless with the delusions and lies that are laid out in these comments.

Living in Bolivia now and during the October revolt I can testify that the first anonymous says the truth. Regarding Evo’s current deaths, just out of my mind I can point out;
Santiago Orocondo, 22 years old, member of “Los sin techo” (People without a roof) on Pampa Ajasi, Oruro. Assassinated by a bullet from a brutal governmental repression performed by the army, why should the army police in a democracy?.
2 coca leaf peasants in the Cochabamba Tropic where brutally assassinated by Evo’s military forces, first there was an accusation, from the government, about narcotics; but at the end, the government finally said that those coca leaf plantations were illegal. Of course, they were not affiliated at Evo’s coca grower unions in el Chapare.
In Huanuni, Oruro we have 12 deaths, all attributed to Evo and his mazists branch in the miming sector in an intent for their political forces to gain lost terrain in that important segment. VP Lineras was quoted saying the regime will send the boxes for the dead instead of the police force to control the possible fights over the mine. He had to send both.
In Cochabamba, January 2007, we had bloody January under Evo and the mazist hands, 3 deaths, Christian Urresty, a teenager, was brutally beaten to death and hung from a tree in front of a church by Evo’s mazist “ponchos rojos”, a peasant paramilitary force under the command of some of the regime’s senators and ministers, currently being prosecuted by human rights groups in Bolivia.
In Camiri last April, Hernan Ruiz, 37, father and husband, was murdered by a lost bullet fired by Evo’s army, the mazist cleaned their hands saying he was in a political motivated protest. But, was not October 2003 a political motivated protest?
And fresh in the memory, this past September 2007, Flores Torrico, the 21 year old student murdered in Arani, Cochabamba by governmental forces. He was just asking to the end of corruption and better conditions to rural teachers.
This are 20 murders by Evo and his regime I can describe without going to the papers, but in reality, after Flores Torrico, there are 28.
By the way, I haven’t seen this information in Fox, I guess they care about Bolivia much less than the second anonymous think.

If Goni is to be included in the "league" of genocidal fanatic dictators, perhaps Evo should be at least considered for a bush league or farm team position for his handling of the minor's riots in Huanuni, Oruro leaving 12 dead or the riots in Coachabamba leaving 3 dead.

So if Evo is actually successful and gives lifetime monthly payments to the victims using taxpayer's money, doesn't that basically mean that the State admits guilt and therefore gets Goni off the hook?

Anyone who reads the first comments posted here ("It is wrong to include") and ("Not misinformed at all") should be aware that they are full of fallacies trying justify grave human rights abuses in light of current events such as the election of Evo Morales to the presidency or the Government's review of contracts with transnationals operating in the country.

The facts are these:

1) Following orders from "Goni", the army and police opened fire against hundreds of unarmed civilians in the streets of La Paz and in neighboring communities in 2003, killing more than fifty people, including protesters, bystanders, and relief workers, and injuring many more.

2) Following orders from "Goni", the army and police attempted to close radio stations, withdraw newspapers from circulation, and intimidate news reporters. It also raided the homes of civic and union leaders, illegally arresting and torturing several.

3) During its last days in Office, "Goni's" Government officials physically withdrew millionaire amounts of the Central Bank's funds from its vaults, which have not been accounted for since, just to name one of the legal and financial "irregularities" that occurred those days.

If you believe in democracy and human rights, I'm sure you'll agree that anyone who fits these descriptions deserves to be investigated, and the failure to clarify events such as these, punish those responsible according to their responsibility, and provide remedies for its victims should be considered - impunity.

While the following facts have nothing to do with the above conclusion, it may show how deviated the arguments:

1) Evo Morales wasn't among those that initiated the protests, and wasn't among the protest's leaders until the last days (he wasn't even in La Paz during the first days of the protests), even being criticized for being too lukewarm in his support to the protests at the beginning of the events.

2) Evo Morales did not initiate the process against "Goni", it was initiated way before he was even a presidential candidate by Carlos Mesa, who had been Vice-President under "Goni" until his resignation, and denounced his acts nationally and internationally when the situation deteriorated, first as Vice-President and then as President.

3) The demand to increase revenues from gas exports, which initiated the protests in October 2003 was not a key demand by Evo or his party until after the events took place. Until then, their agenda had been focused on the cooperation with the US for the eradication coca leaf plants.

Let’s not attempt to cover the sun with one eye, the October 2003 protesters were by no means unarmed or pacific, as registered in multiple occasions by the media. That is why there are several policemen and soldiers among the death and injured you are mentioning. Are any of this poor people or families being compensate or any of the October riots initiators being put on trial. Not yet because they are all protected by the current regime, but the time will come.

The only tortured on those days where a young army official and his wife abducted in El Chapare, were Evo was and still is the maximum leader. The principal implicated by the police is today one of Evo’s representative in the Constitutional Assembly.

Goni should be brought to justice because he used the army without declaring “estado de sitio”; since our constitution doesn’t allow the army to police civilians without that specific declaration by the president. If you want to bring Goni under the law using that argument, I will be the first one to sign, fallowing my requirement for Evo’s trial, since he has already used the army for the same reasons Goni did. Just read on top, I even gave you some “real” people’s names.
