This accusation focuses narrowly on the 48 hours between Evo Morales' resignation and Jeanine Áñez's assumption of the presidency. Essentially argues that military put their thumb on the scale for who would become president.Permalink On twitter.com

Let me emphasize that this indictment/accusation *does not* center on Morales' resignation, but rather on the succession that followed.Permalink On twitter.com

Concretely, the military/police intervention that is named in the accusation amounts to: 1. Protecting Áñez while preventing MAS-IPSP legislators from convening to consider succession. 2. Taking orders from Áñez before she was president 3. Ceremonial aspects of the transitionOn twitter.com

Per the Constitution, the Plurinational Legislative Assembly was required to accept or reject Morales & García Linera's resignations, as well as the (coerced) resignations of legislative leaders, but they were prevented from meeting until Nov 13.Permalink On twitter.com
