Bolivian President Morales calls for new election after deadly protests
Bolivian President Evo Morales announced his resignation Sunday under mounting pressure from the military and the public after his reelection victory triggered weeks of fraud allegations and deadly protests.
“This is not Cuba, nor Venezuela. This is Bolivia, and Bolivia is respected!” a crowd in the capital shouted. But his claim to have won a fourth term last month set off unrest that left three people dead and more than 100 injured in clashes between his supporters and opponents. The leadership crisis escalated in the hours leading up Morales’ resignation. Two government ministers in charge of mines and hydrocarbons, the Chamber of Deputies president and three other pro-government legislators announced their resignations. Some said opposition supporters had threatened their families.
The OAS report and Morales’ acceptance of a new election were positive steps that could have calmed Bolivia’s divisions, she said. “Now I am not sure what will happen.”
