Bolivia’s dictatorship and the state of helplessness of Bolivians.
The dictatorship in Bolivia is over 15 years old and the world’s democracies still hesitate to treat it as such. For over a decade Bolivia is a country with political prisoners, persecuted, and exiled, without the rule of law, without the separation and independence of the branches of government, and with a judicial system used as an instrument for repression that has institutionalized the violation of human rights. The recent arrest of former President Janine Añez, the unleashed harassment and persecution are a repeat of cases like “October 2003”, “La Calancha”, “El Porvenir”, “Terrorism” and more, that prove the dictatorship in Bolivia has all Bolivians in a state of helplessness.
