Don't be so innocent. It is not so easy to put ex presidents in jail.

I wonder what the progres K would have done if Macri would have done the same thing
The police and military refused to fire on the people. That was not a coup, that was a misjudgment on the part of Evo.

The Argentine embassy in Bolivia gives shelter to Carlos Romero, the Minister of Government of Evo Morales
www.lanacion.com.ar
Per Google Translate:
"Romero asked to be safe inside the embassy," high sources of the Argentine Foreign Ministry confirmed to LA NACION . And they explained that according to the "tradition of hospitality" with neighboring countries a place was granted, although technically it is not an asylum. "For this to happen, there must be a counterpart that requests it, and that did not happen," said a hierarchical of the Foreign Ministry, which did not rule out that other leaders of the MAS official or the Morales government can join a similar request.
From the Foreign Ministry they also clarified that Romero's situation "will be evaluated" with the passing of the hours and that shortly it will be defined if it passes to the condition of political asylum.
President Macri led a cabinet meeting today, in which Evo Morales's resignation was the central issue. "He is very concerned about the destabilization of the region," said a cabinet member who was at the meeting. The President talked to several "presidents of the region" over the weekend and Faurie did the same with the foreign ministers, government sources said. Mauricio Macri has been hosting Bolivian government minister Carlos Romero since last night at the headquarters of his embassy in La Paz to protect him from "possible reprisals" after the resignation of President Evo Morales.
At the subsequent press conference, Faurie once again made the official position clear: he reiterated that for the Government it is not a coup d'etat . He affirmed that democracy in Bolivia has the tools to achieve an institutional solution to the conflict without violence. "The MAS has a majority in the Legislative Assembly, with appointing a non-irritating leader for the opposition for 90 days would be enough to decompress," official sources of the Argentine government conjecture.
The chief of staff, Marcos Peña , also shared the same vision with several ministers in the last hours. "It is a very delicate situation, and the Armed Forces told Evo that they were not going to repress, and then retire. Technically it is not a coup d'etat," a minister told LA NACION .
"We have to wait and try to have this resolved in peace and through the institutional channels that exist, that there is an election and that there is a definition of who are the ones who have to administer the destinies of Bolivia in the coming years," said Interior Minister Rogelio Frigerio in radio statements after the cabinet meeting.

Per Google Translate:
After the resignation of Evo Morales, all eyes on Bolivia are set on one person: Jeanine Añez, who within the successor line can assume the mandate of the State in the next few hours.
"I think that Bolivians do not deserve this. We owe certainty to the people. Therefore, if there is an accompaniment of civil organizations, I will assume. But if there is another way or another path is decided, I will also accept it," said.in tears this morning before the cameras the second vice president of the Senate, an opposition legislator. "Only what I want is to contribute, to give some solution to this crisis so horrible that we are living," she said to a group of Bolivian media. When asked if she was prepared to take on the challenge, Añez replied: "It is very clear that this is only a transition. It is only to call elections and to be transparent, as all the people want it. We do not want electoral fraud, we do not want uncertainty".
Añez, 52, was born in Trinidad, Beni. In 2010 she was elected senator of Bolivia from the party of the Plan Progreso para Bolivia-Convergencia Nacional (PPB - CN). In the last election of 2015 she participated with the acronym of Demócratas. Between 2006 and 2008 she served as a constituent assemblyperson for the drafting of the new constitutional charter. She also participated in the commission of organization and structure of the new state, while working on the part of the Judiciary. "I have practically been opposing for ten years, because we cannot say that we were in a full democracy. You cannot talk about democracy when there are persecuted politicians, when there are political exiles, when democratic institutionalization is non-existent in the country, when the constitution is not respected", she declared before the cameras.
The senator accused Morales of being responsible for the troubled situation in Bolivia and for violating the constitution while trying to extend in power for a fourth term. "All this convulsion is only for that totally petty objective of Don Evo Morales to remain in power and it does not seem fair", she concluded.

As usual, the CIA is always one step behind the surprises.
