Guest columnist.On October 26, 1959, 65 years ago, Evo Morales Ayma was born in Orinoca. There are various versions about his family, including a father of Croatian origin. His childhood is also lost in lies and crude attempts to idolize him. Even the coca grower himself has various versions of his childhood, as one day he says he was a terrible student, but another he presents himself as an outstanding student.
The truth is that his only contact with "culture" was in the Banda Imperial, one of the many groups that specialize in street noise during the Oruro carnivals. In other words, Evo was simply a trumpet player for a brotherhood of music fans whose only talent was to liven up drunks. It was not until his arrival in Chapare, Cochabamba, in 1984, that his true and only vocation would come to light: street terrorism.
What is this story about?
Because many of my compatriots lack something fundamental for the development of countries: democratic culture. Without this structure of thought, people can vote, but never choose well. That is why in Bolivia people can bring ignorant, vulgar and immoral people to power, driven only by ethnic, economic or gender emotionalism. Something like: I will give her my vote because she is indigenous, poor and a woman. Now do you understand the reason why so many political consultants instruct their clients to dress up as poor and use all the politically correct terminology? But bad decisions always bring consequences.
Killing, yes, killing, is the only way Evo Morales came to power and held on to it. I have already spoken several times about the Andrade couple or Second Lieutenant Marcelo Trujillo, murdered with machete blows in January 2002. Another of the massacres organized by the coca grower, and which earned him an international investigation, is the Hotel Las Américas operation.
On that occasion, in April 2009, Eduardo Rózsa, Árpád Magyarosi and Michael Dwyer were killed under the pretext of an assassination attempt, after being shot in the head and back. The survivors of the operation, Mario Tadic and Elod Tóaso, reported having been tortured for several days. In addition, several citizens of Santa Cruz were unjustly imprisoned for a decade, including Zvonko Matkovic Ribera, current member of the Departmental Assembly of Santa Cruz.
What do you call a regime that violates human rights, has total control of power and carries out extrajudicial executions?
Easy: Dictatorship
However, the opposition was not the only victim of Evo. After his monumental fraud and subsequent flight to Mexico, Morales has been the target of several accusations of rape and human trafficking. Acts that are grotesque, but which do not seem to bother the lifelong leader of the Chapare coca producers and he even boasts about them, as in 2008 when he declared: "I once said that I end my years in office with my cocaine cato, my quinceañera and my charango," or when in 2018, on an Argentine channel he said: "Several girls want to have children for me, because I am the best president in the history of Bolivia."
Everything seems to indicate that Generación Evo was, in reality, a façade so that, in exchange for political favors, Morales could have access to girls and adolescents, something very similar to what Gaddafi did in Libya during the years of his dictatorship.
In conclusion, Evo is not a union leader, nor a politician, he is a criminal of the worst kind.
