Luis Arce @LuchoXBolivia was allowed by the Áñez government to flee his country into exile in December 2019. Now Áñez minister (and conspirator in a succession of dubious legality) Tuto Quiroga calls him an ingrate for prosecuting her. @tutoquiroga/1374489798589607936On twitter.com

This is ironic because the very announcement that Arce was free to depart was paired with a statement thst those accused of sedition would never be allowed to leave. paginasiete.bo/nacional/2019/11/28/longaric-brindara-salvoconducto-luis-arce-catacora-su-esposa-238819.htmlPermalink On twitter.com

Plus it reveals the oddly personal and transactional way Tuto Quiroga treats politics. As if a personal favor should override any memory of the massacres and mass arrests of late 2019.Permalink On twitter.com

Between prosecutions and amnesties, the Arce government is engaged in highly partial use of the justice system. This may squander its chance for criminal accountability for the takeover and crackdown. woborders.blog/?p=4582Permalink On twitter.com

But failing to "return the favor" of escaping into exile is hardly one of its sins. Áñez had hundreds of MASistas locked up or trapped in Embassies on lesser grounds than the sedition charge against her. hrp.law.harvard.edu/press-releases/black-november-report/Permalink On twitter.com

Áñez did her level best to secure the arrest of Evo Morales for sedition against an unelected government. Now she faces charges of sedition against an elected one (and the elected legislators who feared for their lives as she swore herself in as president).Permalink On twitter.com

Lots of manufactured outrage and hypocrisy at work here on both sides. The challenge is to not let that obscure a reckoning with all that happened in 2019.Permalink On twitter.com
