In the fall of 2019, the U.S. backed a right-wing coup in Bolivia that ousted President Evo Morales, the only Indigenous head of state in the Americas and the leader of the Movement for Socialism (MAS). The white supremacist, anti-Indigenous, fascist government installed by the U.S. was met with resistance by the Bolivian working class, with a year of protests and fighting in the streets. Eventually the coup government was forced to hold elections. When the votes were counted in late October, MAS had won and the Bolivian people had elected Luis Arce as president. Within weeks, Evo Morales returned from exile. Though there is a great struggle ahead for the Bolivian people to hold onto their gains, this was a great victory for workers and Indigenous people the world around.
