Pachajcho are like a special forces group inside the army to deal with political issues. In Brazil they also have this, they were called "Kids Pretos".

Pachajchos' seen as a power group in the Armed Forces (Spanish Only)

Translation(This is a liberal Newspaper so expect anti-evo propaganda)

Evo Morales created this group, now denounces persecution by the 'Pachajchos'. Army officers on active and passive duty confirm the existence of this organization. Those mentioned as its main leaders command the Armed Forces.

The "Pachajchos" is a power group within the Bolivian Army. They have a lot of influence when it comes to appointing officers and have a lot of weight in the fight against contraband. This select organization is led by the Armed Forces leadership. Active and passive duty military personnel recounted the history and actions of the "Pachajchos". A counterpart was requested from the Army General Command and there was no response.

The "Pachajchos" were created during the last administration of Evo Morales. It is a military power group whose main mission is military intelligence. Joining this organization is not easy. It requires several requirements.

The military group became known on October 16, when Evo Morales denounced that the Ministry of Defense and the Army Chief of Staff have organized a group called "Pachajcho" to persecute him with military experts in telephone tapping and personal surveillance that were already discovered in Cochabamba. At that time, the leader of the "masismo" warned: "At any moment this group is going to mount evidence; we are being persecuted by our own government through the Ministry of Defense.

According to Jorge Santistevan, a retired Army colonel and lawyer, "this is a power group within the Army that is managed by the former commander of the Army and now commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces (Hugo Arandia) and General (Juan José) Zúñiga (former chief of the Army General Staff and current commander general of the Army)".

On Tuesday, November 1, 16 days after Morales' denunciation, and in the middle of the conflict over the census in Santa Cruz, President Luis Arce appointed General Hugo Arandia as the new commander in chief of the Armed Forces, while General Zúñiga took over as general commander of the Army.

According to Santistevan, this power group not only follows certain personalities, such as Evo Morales, but also enjoys privileges within the institution with important and strategic positions to manage the institution.

This media sent a letter to General Hugo Arandia requesting information about this group and asking if he is part of it. The letter was left at the Gran Cuartel de Miraflores, in the city of La Paz, last Wednesday, October 19. By the time this report went to press there had been no response.

However, in February of this year, General Zuñiga, when he served as chief of the Army General Staff, admitted the existence of the group. The officer said that this group is dedicated to intelligence tasks and that non-commissioned and low-ranking military officers are also part of it.

"The 'Pachajchos' group is made up of excellent officers, non-commissioned officers and sergeants who work in the General Staff. They are also victims of lies and slander. They work for the homeland, for the institution," said Zuñiga at the beginning of the year.

Police showed up to support the pro-goverment demonstrators, and the coup leaders began to flee. Also, Lucho told the General to fuck off.

Luis Arce had purged the police force, which was the main force behind the 2019 coup, while the army was neutral. It seems that Zuniga was either very dumb or on drugs, because he did this with just one tank, two APCs and 100 soldiers. The Air Force and Police remained loyal to the government. The police were seen with pro-government demonstrators attacking the fleeing soldiers.

About the Traitor Gusano General Zuniga:

Zúñiga served as colonel of the REIM-23 Max Toledo regiment between 2012 and 2013. He was charged for the embezzlement of Bs2.7 million intended for Renta Dignidad and Juancito Pinto during his tenure, and was incarcerated for seven days.

Zúñiga was relieved of his post of commanding general on 25 June 2024, following a series of threats against Evo Morales. In these, he described the former president as a "traitor" and accused him of plotting a revolution against the current government, while stating that the Constitution of Bolivia would prevent Morales from returning to power.

Prior to this, Zúñiga was accused by Morales of being the commander of the military organization Pachajcho, allegedly plotting to eliminate the former president as part of a "black plan" against coca production leaders and political opponents.
