Quite obviously, the guy acted against the constitution, against the orders of the supreme court, against his own party.
As I see it, it is him who tried to usurp power and the Military was merely acting on orders of the supreme court to PREVENT a coup.
I do nort know enough about this guy to pass a judgment on his abilities.
But if, as he obviously did, he acted against the constitution now, chances are, that he will act against it in the future as well.
And I believe this is not what you want to happen. |
Yawn. More garbage from the Wall Street Journal. When it comes to Latin America the WSJ abandons any pretense of being anything but a right wing rag, at least in its editorial. If they fall short of complete fabrication, they are invariably telling only part of the story.
As for your post, a coup to prevent a coup? That doesn't even begin to make sense.
The BBC has some rather interesting analysis, that seems a bit more balanced, if you're interested.
