玻利维亚部长警告左翼对民主构成威胁，赞扬白宫
在特朗普总统的西半球政策取得成功之际，玻利维亚总统府部长费尔南多·阿拉马约表示，玻利维亚正在捍卫民主、打击有组织犯罪，并获得了白宫的支持。

玻利维亚国防部长在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示，该国日益严峻的安全挑战正成为唐纳德·特朗普总统“美洲盾牌”计划的首批实际考验之一，目前安全部队已部署至战略地点，政府正为新一轮动荡做好准备。
“我认为这是‘美洲盾牌’能否从宣言转变为具体成果的首批实际考验之一，”玻利维亚国防部长埃内斯托·胡斯蒂尼亚诺在独家专访中对福克斯新闻数字频道表示。
但胡斯蒂尼亚诺强调，玻利维亚并未宣布正在发生政变企图。“我今天并不是说我们有确凿证据证明当前正在进行推翻总统的具体行动，”他说，“我们所掌握的是非常严重的先例和预警信号，足以证明采取预防性行动的合理性。”
特朗普今年3月在佛罗里达州的一次峰会上启动了“美洲盾牌”计划，召集西半球各国政府深化经济与安全合作，包括打击跨国犯罪的行动。

胡斯蒂尼亚诺的此番表态之际，罗德里戈·帕斯总统的政府正试图避免今年早些时候持续50多天的道路封锁事件重演——那次封锁导致食品、燃料和药品短缺，加剧了该国的经济危机。9月17日，玻利维亚议会批准将国家紧急状态延长90天，理由是再次发生封锁的风险持续存在。部分反对党议员和社会团体批评了这项措施，认为其未能解决动荡的根源。（路透社）
一名美国官员对福克斯新闻数字频道表示：“美国坚定不移地承诺支持玻利维亚的民主和帕斯政府，帮助该国在经历20年失败的社会主义政策后重建国家。特朗普政府将继续与玻利维亚站在一起，助力其实现稳定、安全，并为全体玻利维亚人民创造更美好的未来。”

“威胁的严重性足以让我们采取预防性措施，但我不想将政府描绘成被围困或软弱的样子，”胡斯蒂尼亚诺说，“其中有一个根本区别：玻利维亚吸取了教训……我们不会将合法的社会不满与对民主的威胁混为一谈。人们可以赞同或反对我们的经济政策，可以游行、抗议并质疑政府。这就是民主。而通过暴力、无限期封锁或威胁宪法秩序来强加决策，则是不民主的行为。”
这位国防部长证实，警方和军队已在全国范围内开展预防性部署。

“我国不同地区都在进行预防性部署，特别是战略路线沿线、主要城市的入口点以及被视为对行动自由、补给线和关键基础设施保护至关重要的敏感地点，”胡斯蒂尼亚诺说。
他拒绝透露具体地点、部队人数或部队调动情况，表示部署规模将根据风险等级变化。

国务院发言人对福克斯新闻数字频道表示：“美国珍视与玻利维亚的紧密伙伴关系，玻利维亚是‘美洲盾牌’计划的参与方，双方致力于推动经济增长，解决腐败和跨国犯罪带来的安全挑战。”
“帕斯总统挺过了53天的封锁和破坏其总统职位的暴力企图，”这位发言人说，“作为该国民选领导人，我们支持他的政府在埃沃·莫拉莱斯的“争取社会主义运动”党腐败管理20多年后，着手修复玻利维亚的经济。”
国务院还表示，9月28日宣布的签证限制针对的是华盛顿所称破坏“帕斯总统及其政府所取得的安全和治理进展”的玻利维亚国民，并补充称，这些行动“强化而非削弱”了双方的合作。
据美联社报道，特朗普政府吊销了玻利维亚、哥伦比亚、厄瓜多尔和秘鲁共27名官员、前官员及其亲属的签证。其中受影响的包括玻利维亚总检察长罗杰·马里亚卡，国务院指控其腐败并为贩毒提供便利。马里亚卡否认了这些指控。
胡斯蒂尼亚诺表示，玻利维亚已正式要求美方提供此次行动所依据的信息。
“玻利维亚总检察长罗杰·马里亚卡的案件尤为严重，因为美国政府公开提出了涉及腐败和协助贩毒的具体指控，”他说。
但这位国防部长告诫不要将受签证限制影响的人员与当前的动荡直接联系起来。“如果我自动断言所有受这些措施影响的人都与当前的动员有关，那是不负责任的，”胡斯蒂尼亚诺说，“我们没有公开证据证明这种概括是合理的。”
当被问及华盛顿针对当前威胁提供了何种援助时，胡斯蒂尼亚诺拒绝透露美国是否提供了行动情报或其他直接援助。

“我能说的是，玻利维亚希望深化这种合作，”他说。
胡斯蒂尼亚诺表示，玻利维亚正寻求与美国在信息共享、金融情报、禁毒、有组织犯罪、边境安全、引渡、培训和机构强化等方面加强合作。
这种推动在上周已有体现，当时玻利维亚总统府部长费尔南多·阿拉马约在联合国大会间隙对福克斯新闻数字频道表示，帕斯政府将打击有组织犯罪视为更广泛的区域挑战的一部分。
“我们承认抗议和示威的合法性，这些行动要求政府做出回应，”阿拉马约说，“我们现在打击的是所有由贩毒资金和有组织国际犯罪资助的、针对我们民主的攻击行为。”

阿拉马约表示，政府已获得华盛顿的支持。“白宫在这场对抗这些黑暗势力的斗争中支持了我们和其他国家，”他说，并补充称玻利维亚“为成为‘美洲盾牌’这类机制的一员感到非常自豪”。
当被问及是否有国家行为体也在煽动动荡时，阿拉马约表示，腐败和有组织犯罪在过去20年中已根深蒂固，声称机构、社会和政治领导人以及私营部门行为体已与跨国犯罪组织纠缠不清。
胡斯蒂尼亚诺强调，军事部署并非旨在压制和平抗议，警方仍承担维护公共秩序的主要责任。
“我们是在为风险做准备，而非宣布政变正在进行，”他说。

EXCLUSIVE: Trump’s new security alliance faces first real-world test deep in South America as troops deploy

Bolivia minister warns of leftist threat to democracy, lauds White House
Amid President Trump’s Western Hemisphere policy success, Bolivian Minister of the Presidency Fernando Aramayo says Bolivia is defending democracy, fighting organized crime and drawing White House support.
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
Bolivia’s mounting security challenge is emerging as one of the first real-world tests of President Donald Trump’s Shield of the Americas, the country’s defense minister told Fox News Digital, as security forces deploy to strategic locations and the government braces for renewed unrest.
“I believe this is one of the first real tests of whether Shield of the Americas can move from declarations to concrete results,” Bolivian Defense Minister Ernesto Justiniano told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview.
But Justiniano stressed that Bolivia is not declaring that a coup attempt is underway. “I am not saying today that we have proven evidence of a specific operation currently underway to overthrow the President,” he said. “What we do have are very serious precedents and warning signs that justify preventive action.”
Trump launched Shield of the Americas at a March summit in Florida, bringing together governments across the Western Hemisphere to deepen economic and security cooperation, including efforts to combat transnational crime.

Justiniano’s comments come as President Rodrigo Paz’s government attempts to prevent a repeat of more than 50 days of road blockades earlier this year that caused shortages of food, fuel and medicine and deepened the country’s economic crisis. On Sept. 17, Bolivia’s Assembly approved a 90-day extension of the country’s state of emergency, citing persistent risks of renewed blockades. Some opposition lawmakers and social groups criticized the measure, arguing that it failed to address the underlying causes of the unrest.Reuters
A U.S. official told Fox News Digital that, “The United States is unwavering in its commitment to support Bolivia’s democracy and the Paz Administration as it rebuilds the country after 20 years of failed socialist policies. The Trump Administration will continue to stand with Bolivia as it works toward stability, security, and a better future for all Bolivians.”

“The threat is serious enough for us to take preventive measures, but I do not want to portray a government that is under siege or weak,” Justiniano said. “There is one fundamental difference: Bolivia learned… We do not confuse legitimate social discontent with a threat to democracy. People may agree or disagree with our economic policies. They can march, protest and challenge the government. That is democracy. What is not democratic is trying to impose a decision through violence, indefinite blockades or threats against the constitutional order.”
The defense minister confirmed that police and military forces have already been deployed preventively around the country.

“There is a preventive deployment in different parts of the country, particularly along strategic routes, access points to major cities and locations considered sensitive for freedom of movement, supply lines and the protection of critical infrastructure,” Justiniano said.
He declined to provide exact locations, troop numbers or unit movements, saying the scale of the deployment would change according to the level of risk.
The unfolding situation comes just days after Trump hosted leaders participating in Shield of the Americas on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly on Sept. 22. The White House has described the initiative as an alliance focused on economic and national security in the Western Hemisphere.The White House

A State Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital that “the United States values its close partnership with Bolivia, a Shield of the Americas participant, to advance economic growth and solve the security challenges posed by corruption and transnational crime.”
“President Paz survived 53 days of blockades and violent attempts to undermine his presidency,” the spokesperson said. “As the country’s elected leader, we support his administration’s ongoing work to repair Bolivia’s economy after more than 20 years of corrupt mismanagement by Evo Morales’s Movement towards Socialism (MAS) party.”
The State Department also said visa restrictions announced Sept. 28 targeted Bolivian nationals whom Washington says are undermining “the security and governance progress President Paz and his administration are achieving,” adding that the actions “reinforce, not undercut, our cooperation.”
The Trump administration revoked visas for 27 officials, former officials and relatives across Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, according to the Associated Press. Among those affected was Bolivian Prosecutor General Roger Mariaca, whom the State Department accused of corruption and facilitating narcotrafficking. Mariaca has rejected the allegations.
Justiniano said Bolivia has formally requested the information underlying the U.S. action.
“The case of Bolivia’s Prosecutor General, Roger Mariaca, is particularly serious because the U.S. government has publicly made specific allegations involving corruption and the facilitation of drug trafficking,” he said.
But the defense minister cautioned against drawing a direct connection between those affected by the visa restrictions and the current unrest. “It would be irresponsible for me to automatically state that everyone affected by those measures is connected to the current mobilizations,” Justiniano said. “We do not have public evidence that would justify that generalization.”
Asked what assistance Washington is providing in response to the current threat, Justiniano declined to say whether the U.S. was supplying operational intelligence or other direct assistance.

“What I can say is that Bolivia wants to deepen this cooperation,” he said.
Justiniano said Bolivia is seeking closer cooperation with the United States on information sharing, financial intelligence, counter-narcotics, organized crime, border security, extraditions, training and institutional strengthening.
That push was already evident last week, when Bolivian Minister of the Presidency Fernando Aramayo told Fox News Digital on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly that the Paz government views its struggle against organized crime as part of a wider regional challenge.
“We recognize the legitimacy of protests and demonstrations that demand responses from the government,” Aramayo said. “What we are attacking right now is all the attacks against our democracy that have been financed by narco-traffic money and organized international crime.”

Aramayo said the government had received support from Washington. “The White House has supported us and other countries in this fight against these dark forces,” he said, adding that Bolivia was “very proud of being part of this mechanism like the Shield of Americas.”
Asked whether state actors were also involved in fueling the unrest, Aramayo said corruption and organized crime had become deeply embedded during the previous two decades, claiming that institutions, social and political leaders and private-sector actors had become entangled with transnational criminal organizations.
Justiniano stressed that the military deployments are not intended to suppress peaceful demonstrations and said police retain primary responsibility for public order.
“We are preparing for a risk, not declaring that a coup is underway,” he said.

The distinction goes to the heart of the challenge confronting Shield of the Americas: how a regional initiative built in part to combat cartels and transnational organized crime operates when a member government says those networks are intersecting with domestic political unrest.
