Bolivia's elites seek a media coup

Justin Podur

Bolivia's popular movements are attempting to use democracy and a
legitimate government to advance an agenda of sovereignty, greater
equality, and development. Their opponents, led by several governors of the
wealthier provinces in a part of the country called the "media luna," are
trying to use violence and sabotage to stop that agenda by provoking a
civil war and chaos. The challenge to Bolivia's government and its
president Evo Morales is to stop the violence without allowing the
provocation to succeed. In meeting that challenge, Morales has the support
of most of the Latin American governments. His opponents have the support
of the United States government.
