Many critics have been calling for President Obama’s impeachment for quite some time, but it never seemed possible. Today, many critics are wondering if he violated international law by organizing the grounding of Bolivia’s President’s plane. Reports are circulating that the plane was searched in attempt to locate Edward Snowden.
Bolivian President Evo Morales was not allowed to travel through several countries’ airspace, causing the plan to be rerouted mid-flight. France and Portugal refused to allow the plan to pass through their country, as initially planned, for fear that Snowden was aboard the craft.
Many believe that the US and, more specifically, Obama are behind the efforts. Bolivian Foreign Minister David Choquehuanca issued the following statement in response to who may have initiated the detainment, but did not go so far as to blame the President by name.:
"We are told that there were some unfounded suspicions that Mr. Snowden was on the plane. We do not know who has invented this lie. Someone who wants to harm our country. This information that has been circulated is malicious information to harm this country."
Austria did allow Morales to land in their country, however, things did not go according to plan when he landed. His plane was thoroughly searched by Austrian officials. No signs of Snowden were found.
Bolivia will be filing a formal complaint at the UN as they view this as an act of aggression. The country isn’t just blaming the U.S, either. They are pointing fingers at every country which denied them passage, a list that consists of--France, Portugal, Spain and Italy.
