The coup regime, fearing a groundswell of popular support for Morales and his party, and seeking to detain potential candidates from the MAS leadership who might run in the new elections promised to take place a few months from now, demanded that Mexico hand over the officials (about 20 at the end of November) who had taken refuge in its embassy. They are being pursued on specious charges of “terrorism and corruption,” also fully consistent with the color revolution playbook. President Lopez Obrador very pointedly condemned the conduct of the lawless Bolivian coup authorities as “something that it would not have occurred even to Pinochet to do.” In Latin American terms, it should be pointed out, the terminology to which the Mexican President resorted is anything but hyperbole. Latin American countries have a long history of coups and revolutions and, quite apart from the prescriptions of the relatively recently adopted (1969) Vienna Convention, they have a lengthy tradition of respecting each other’s diplomatic premises as places of refuge where today’s rulers may end up seeking shelter tomorrow. The siege of Mexico’s diplomatic mission in La Paz is therefore doubly obnoxious. It is a crude infringement of a positive norm of international law, but at the same time also violates a deeply ingrained Latin American tradition.Real law, not artificial "law". Real law can't be changed arbitrarily by Deepstate's "lawyers" because it's written in our genes by God. Mexico's response is based on foolish trust in written "law", thus guaranteed to fail:
Mexico will file suit at the International Court of Justice to seek a cease and desist order against the Bolivian authorities. To which the coup regime “interior minister” Arturo Murillo laconically responded: “See you in court.”Evo's crucial mistake was failing to jail or execute his opponents, and failing to buy a few dozen nukes. AMLO may be heading down the same road with his ethereal trust in written "laws".
