Jeanine Anez took over Bolivia s presidency from Evo Morales in 2019 when the latter resigned from his post after the head of the military asked him to step down amid protests over vote-rigging claims.
The Trump administration back then welcomed Morales resignation, saying that his departure preserves democracy. On the other hand, the foreign minister of Brazil s far-right government said there was an incident of a coup in Bolivia. And the recent arrest of Jeanine Anez tells a similar story.
According to an Aljazeera report, a judge ordered Anez of four months of preventive detention for her role in Morales ouster. Anez and two former members of her cabinet were recently arrested and charged with sedition, terrorism, and conspiracy. According to Morales, the events constituted a coup.
