Argentinean President-elect Alberto Fernández has criticized the U.S. stance on Bolivia's political upheaval, which saw long-standing leftist leader Evo Morales resign under pressure and seek asylum in Mexico.

 

Buenos Aires.- Fernández also slammed the Organization of American States (OAS), which had said in an audit of Bolivia's October 20 election, won by Morales, that the result should be annulled due to "irregularities."

"In my opinion, the United States has regressed decades. It returned to the bad times of the 70s," Fernández told a local radio station, adding that it was "guaranteeing military interventions against popular, democratically elected governments."

U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday hailed Morales' departure as good for democracy, a view that clashed with other leaders in the region, including that of Fernandez who has backed Morales and said he was the victim of a coup.

Alberto Fernández is due to take over Latin America's third-largest economy in December, taking the reins from the right-wing Mauricio Macri who had a close relationship with Washington and Trump. (RHC)
