The Spin

Authorities deserve praise for finally pursuing this corruption scheme and arresting Luis Arce in a case that exposes systematic enrichment of politicians at the expense of the poor. Now, investigations must extend to Evo Morales, who founded this corruption network to direct funds to his allies, along with his entire cabinet and complicit social organizations.

Bolivia's right-wing puppet president arrested left-wing former President Luis Arce after just one month in power on bogus political charges. This is clearly part of a systematic campaign to dismantle the anti-imperialist movement by targeting its leaders. The charges are fabricated pretexts to eliminate opposition to U.S. influence in Bolivia.
