Resumo

Este artículo analiza el vínculo entre los incendios forestales que en 2019 afectaron en Bolivia a la Chiquitanía y la crisis política que derivó en la renuncia de Evo Morales a la presidencia del país tras las elecciones de 2019. Se argumenta que el desastre ambiental fue utilizado por grupos opositores al gobierno con el doble objetivo de erosionar la popularidad de Morales en vista a las elecciones presidenciales y posicionar en el panorama político al entonces presidente del Comité Cívico Pro Santa Cruz, Luis Fernando Camacho. Esto se logró mediante la capitalización política de la catástrofe forestal a través de las redes sociales. Para desarrollar este argumento, este artículo presenta un estudio de datos sobre la dinámica de desinformación en torno a la quema de bosques, como, entre otras formas, el uso de imágenes falsas. También se examina la página del Comité Cívico cruceño, cuya convocatoria a un multitudinario cabildo —que se hizo bajo la consigna de defender la tierra— dio lugar a un discurso federalista y regionalista más que ambientalista. Asimismo, se analiza la campaña mediática antimasista del grupo ambientalista Ríos de Pie durante el periodo de los incendios. En conclusión, se sostiene que la manipulación del activismo ambiental en beneficio de fines políticos, sumada al descontento social y legítimo con la gestión de Morales, desembocó los eventos que llevaron a su renuncia en un contexto electoral polarizado que derivó en la última gran crisis política boliviana.
