Description

Bolivia has plunged into a political crisis after Evo Morales Ð the countryÕs first indigenous president and its longest-serving leader Ð was forced to step down following pressure from the military, police and public protests over alleged electoral fraud on 20 October 2019. Roiled by mass protests at least 32 people have died since then, most of them reportedly in alleged police and army crackdowns on pro-Morales protests, with hundreds more injured and arrested. An interim administration, led by Acting President Jeanine ç-ez, has assumed power with a mandate to call fresh elections Ð but she has unveiled a new cabinet which critics say could further increase civil and ethnic polarization in Bolivia. Hence it is imperative that the interim administration and the MAS Party Ð which has governed the country since 2006 Ð cooperate with each other and work together, so that rule-of-law can be restored in Bolivia; including the right to protest peacefully and to vote in transparent, competitive and fair elections.
