Audio Recordings Documenting U.S. Politicians and Bolivian Opposition Leaders Organizing the Coup
The Radio Education Network of Bolivia (Erbol)
leaked 16 audio recordings involving opposition
leaders who are calling for a coup d'état against
the government of President Evo Morales, a
political action which would have been coordinated
from the U.S. embassy in the Andean country.
Among those mentioned in the recordings are the
U.S. Senators Marco Rubio, Bob Menéndez and Ted
Cruz, who would have maintained contact with the
Bolivian opposition in order to achieve regime
change in the Bolivia.
The recordings also reveal participation in the
political conspiracy of the
former prefect of Cochabamba, Manfred Reyes Villa,
who was accused of corruption in 2009 and fled
Bolivia to seek asylum in the U.S., where he is
currently living.
In their conspiracy talks, these Bolivian
politicians also mention a former Bolivian
president whose name is not given explicitly,
former New Republican Force lawmaker Mauricio
Muñoz and former Army officers Oscar Pacello
Aguirre, Remberto Siles, Julio César Maldonado
Leoni and Teobaldo Cardozo.
