Boot Him
Stupid. If Evo Morales wanted to prove that he wants to become President via democratic means, he needs to denounce the latest blunder by MAS senator Roman Loayza. Many have speculated that if Tuto Quiroga becomes President, that mobilizations will be out in full force. However, now someone from MAS has explicitly stated just that.
The senator from MAS said that Quiroga wouldn’t last six months in the Presidency and the Morales would become President win or lose the 05 elections. Loayza admitted that he has had conversations with members of the military and police who will support a possible coup d’etat.
One MAS deputy, Gustavo Torrico, has already said that Loayza does not represent the official MAS position. According to Terra, Morales regretted the comments and that they were “desubicadas”. However, Morales needs to take serious action against the clueless Loayza, such as disowning him. Comments like this could set MAS back and make some have a second thought about supporting someone who has radicals like this in his campaign.
As expected, Quiroga is having a field day with these comments.
