The former president of Bolivia and the current international delegate of the Bolivian government, Jorge Quiroga, accused the Mexican representative Andrés Manuel López Obrador of being cynical and scoundrel, of moving “from bellaco” with his country and being incongruous in giving him asylum to Evo Morales.
“Mr. López Obrador, it’s time to speak out. You have clearly decided to be the godfather of the Latin American tyrants, you are a cowardly bulloncito, because we have seen you embarrassed kneeling before Trump, who places demands on you, who forces you to deport Central Americans, who is putting you labor inspectors into the bathroom of your department, and you kneeling before Trump, and embarrassingly kneeling before Castro de Cuba and before Maduro
The statements of the delegate of the government of Jeanine Añez come amid the tension between the two countries, as Mexico accuses Bolivia of “harassment and intimidation” at its diplomatic headquarters in the South American nation, and even announced that it will claim for that police surveillance before the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
The government of Añez, meanwhile, previously accused the Mexican government of interference for failing to hand over former officials (of the government of Evo Morales) with an arrest warrant that they are seized at its embassy headquarters, and said that its Undersecretariat for Latin America and the Caribbean has “misrepresented and distorted the truth” about security measures at the site.
Even with these signs, the Government of Bolivia had expressed that the Bolivian chancellor was ready to engage in dialogue with the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Marcelo Ebrard. However, again there were hostile statements, in this case those of Jorge Quiroga.
He came to head the government of Bolivia after the Army forced Morales to leave power, accused by opponents of committing fraud in the elections, to be elected president for the fourth time.
After leaving Bolivia, Morales accepted the offer of asylum made to him by Mexico, the government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
The delegate Quiroga accused López Obrador of being incongruous, in giving morales asylum, because in doing so, he said, he “sheltered” a character who committed electoral fraud, and a “cocaine producer”, being that Mexico has a serious drug trafficking problem.
He also accused him of violating asylum conventions by allowing Morales, from Mexico, to make political lyre statements and to instite violence.
“So servile to the abusive and the authoritarian, and so bullyand and abusive to Bolivia because you think we are small, you think we’re going to run for your threats,” Quiroga said.
“He went from bellaco to Bolivia, because he has confused our respect, our deference, with cowardice, and it is good that he does not make mistakes,” he added. “Don’t let him come and kill the second woman president in Bolivia’s history.”
Chancellor Marcelo Ebrard was accused of wanting to campaign at Bolivia’s expense, with a “premature candidacy” for the presidency of Mexico, in the coming years.
Complete response to @lopezobrador_ and his bullying to #Bolivia, while he is so summed up to Trump, Castro and Maduro. AMLO is the godfather of Latin American tyrants; @m_ebrard is the premature candidate seeking to be pleased with Castristas.https://t.co/x3OGqPmNNW

Arturo Zaldívar, Minister President of the Supreme Court of Justice in Mexico, said of these sayings that “respecting judicial independence and the division of powers, when the Mexican Head of State is attacked and insulted, all Mexicans must be united”.
“I hope that Bolivia will raise the level of the debate, and find a solution in line with international law, rather than launchd disqualifications,” he added.
