  1. #BoliviaEnCrisis #FraudeElectoral Carlos Mesa, in his capacity as 2019 runner-up presidential candidate, files a legal demand that Evo Morales, his VP, and three ministers be indicted in the ongoing electoral fraud investigation. @carlosdmesag/1227618606143492097

      Mesa's legal document (available here: docs.google.com/viewerng/viewer?url=http://www.la-razon.com/nacional/animal_electoral/ampliacion-electorales-presentada-Carlos-Mesa_LRZFIL20200212_0003.pdf) argues that it is "impossible to think" that the alleged electoral fraud could have occurred w/o the support and orders of the MAS leadership.

        Mesa argues this must be true "for the simple reason that the only political party that benefitted … was the Movement Towards Socialism." Essentially, "Cui bono?"—Who benefits?

          Mesa's filing: "These acts which realized the fraud are unthinkable and unviable without the participation and direct orders from the maximum authorities of the prior government."

            Mesa specifically names five individuals—Evo Morales, VP Álvaro Garcia Linera, Min. Juan Ramón Quintana, Min. Carlos Romero Bonifaz, Min. Hector Arce Zaconeta—as participants in the conspiracy. There is no new evidence in the filing.
