Madrid, July 10 (EFE).- (Camera: Jesús Bartolomé) .- The former president of Argentina Mauricio Macri denied on Saturday having sent "lethal" ammunition to Bolivia to suppress the social protests that took place in the Andean country in November 2019 against the government of Evo Morales.INTERVIEW WITH MACRI.TRANSLATION:"The European Union and the OAS say it was an institutional crisis product of the fraudulent intent from Evo Morales, who mobilized the people in the streets, got scared and then stepped down. In that institutional crisis, the European Union asked the Bolivian congress to work within the constitutional frames to get out of that crisis. The congress chose an interim president tasked to call elections as soon as possible, which she did, and she did it so transparently that Evo Morales' party once again won but without Evo Morales." "The European Union does not accept that as a coup. My government in Argentina didn't either." "The things (they say we sent) are antiriot, not war material. My minister informed me that they travelled, with Morales already out of power, with the process in congress to pick an interim president, to defend the Argentinian embassy in Bolivia, where a couple of Evo Morales' workers were taking refuge, who had to leave the country for Argentina. I had already lost the election by then, so it was carried out in coordination with the incoming government."
