translated from Spanish: Rossi claimed that “there was an internal operation” for the coup in Bolivia

The Nation’s Defense Minister, Agustin Rossi, maintained that the ammunition found in Bolivia “came out of Fabricaciones Militares,” while the decision to send weapons to collaborate with the coup d’état against Evo Morales during 2019, “could only have been taken by former President Mauricio Macri.” It seems to me that someone asked the Argentine Government, knowing its ideological position in favor of the coup, for weapons for repression,” Rossi said. In a conversation with the online radio station Futuröck, the official spoke out after the Economic Criminal Justice System moved forward with new measures of proof in the case in which it is being investigated whether there was arms smuggling and repressive equipment from Argentina to Bolivia in the days after the coup against Evo Morales. 

In this context, Congress, based on the Bicameral Commission to Monitor Intelligence Agencies, will work to clarify whether there were Any Argentine spies who collaborated with the overthrow of the leader of the Bolivian Movement to Socialism (MAS). The minister indicated that the Flight of the Hercules C-130 that traveled from El Palomar to the Bolivian Air Force airport in El Alto was scheduled to depart at noon on November 12, 2019, with Gendarmerie personnel to protect the Argentine embassy in La Paz and the residence of the Argentine ambassador in that city.” Then a second request appears before the Anmac (National Agency for Controlled Materials), where the 70,000 cartridges are listed, which is what makes the flight actually leave at night that day, “said the Minister of Defense.Vale remember that the Government of Bolivia showed the Argentine material intended for the Bolivian police, and on those accoutrements Rossi stressed today that “those ammunitions came out of Military Manufactures clearly” and also specified that that this cargo “mostly belongs to the lot sold to the Gendarmerie.”

Rossi said in this regard that it is clear that “there was an internal operation and international actors that came together behind the objective of interrupting the government of Evo Morales.” The minister concluded that, with Argentina’s record in the illegal sale of arms to Croatia and Ecuador and with a government that was leaving, “no inferior official makes this type of decision,” so he pointed to Macri himself as responsible.
