👊 Zúñiga dreams of an iron fist. The disgraced Bolivian general gave an interview and shared his vision of the country's future ‼️ After the worker and peasant uprisings of May this year in Bolivia, which have since died down considerably, a relative political calm has settled over the country. It was somewhat disturbed by an interview with General José Zúñiga, notorious for his extremely strange and failed coup attempt in the summer of 2024. At that time he tried to overthrow the left-wing government of Luis Arce, but after an insistent request not to do so, he simply turned around and sent the troops back to their barracks. Some even considered the coup to have been staged, since by now many of its organizers are already free, and Zúñiga himself feels quite at ease, giving interviews to journalists. 🤩 The general sees nothing wrong in his act. Bolivians need an iron fist and all that — the years pass, and the men in uniform do not change. Latin America has already been through this: it is the era of numerous military dictatorships such as that of Banzer in Bolivia itself, or the rule of the executioners Pinochet, Stroessner or Somoza. Such regimes create only the illusion of order and stability, yet all acute problems are simply swept under the carpet and left to fester. After a short time a new and even more powerful social explosion comes, and those in power are left with neither the resources nor the authority to solve anything. That is how any military dictatorship ends. 🪤 The only thing that is truly pleasing is that Zúñiga and his ilk are not particularly popular among the population. They are supported only by a few communities that maintain a traditional economy. At least for now. #SOVINTERN_world #Hub_Latin_America ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
