She will immediately call for elections there needs to be that they need to name a new electoral tribunal and hold elections around. December the 20th to be able to have a new president. By january 22nd but in the meantime a lot of frustration and a lot of people followers of him. Who are not happy with this decision who are not happy with this naming of the interim president and theres people protesting in the area with police repressing this with Water Cannons water trucks and and riot police all around this area supporters of morale circs pressing outrage and condemning what they called a coup tourists about has more. The past few days have not been easy for people in. Olivias 1st indigenous leader in what alice was forced to resign when the organization of american states or always yes and now fraud had been committed in the president ial election. The military requested that he step down he supporters denounce it is a call. For running wanka morales was the man that gave them dignity after years of discrimination. In these years we have seen change we have seen our lives get better i am young but i have seen how Indigenous People have suffered in this country now these racists the ones that burn our flag want to shut us down people around gree because they will more or less opponents burned the woodpile a flag which represents indigenous communities here there are roadblocks everywhere in these days as more or less supporters vowed to continue the push for his return from mexico theres been chaos since he stepped down forcing the police to request the help of the army to restore order in the city the sight of fighter jets flying overhead is making people even more furious. People are. Writing down. All of them are. Not going. By me im forcing. An interim president as anyone yes was sworn in by bolivias opposition on tuesday in an attempt to fill the power vacuum her supporters celebrated her designation. The winner who we are facing a president ial succession brought on by the vacancy of the presidency and the absence of the president according to the constitution as president of the senate i immediately assume the presidency of the state and i promise to take all of the measures necessary to pass a. By the country but the Assembly Meeting happened without the presence of ever more Movement TowardsSocialism Party congresswoman assume that. They will not cooperate with those who carried out a call does anyone im a little. We are not of that assembly because we are not giving card room and we want to recognize her as a president the florist our own senators to escape and step down. Even though more or less hes accused of fraud and violating the constitution people will see him as the man who changed bolivia for good many are dreading their return of the racism they faced in the past and thats why many say hes resignation hurts them even more. And. Are forced out of his country by the military morale is actually hoping to make a political comeback from mexico after arriving nary a call for peace back home John Heilemann has war. Whenever morale is woke up on sunday he was still the president of bolivia. By midday tuesday he was out of power and the next so touching down in mexico he said things could have been worse. But. I want to tell you were extremely grateful because the mix can president has solved my life. It wasnt easy getting him here the mets can foreign minister described the tense standoff before he could work out a route for him to leave the country were going to see he wanted to see but there were even the supporters surrounding the airport and the armed forces within it and there was a period of real tension for evo morales was already on board the plane it was the worst moment as. President morales said that a coup pushed him out on sunday the army had asked him to resign he was blameless he indicated. To the world my only crime is that evil is indigenous the only sin weve committed as social programs for the poor and always searching for equality and justice. He would deny that humans hard to extreme poverty brought Economic Prosperity and stability to the country during his time in power. But his opponents point to a growing authoritarianism and then serious irregularities in the last election he went against the constitution to run in the 1st place so its a complex situation here for a president who over nearly 14 years did do a lot especially for the poor and vulnerable in bolivia before he disappeared from view he made a call for peace in his homeland. Finally id like to say for the not to be any more bloodshed more confrontations weve decided to resign for the people that i meet in the scene as it meant to him and while i have life we will stay in politics while i have life the fight will continue and we sure that the people of the world have all the right to free themselves. That wish is going on and sit in bolivia where despite his absence his supporters and the opposition continue to clash join homan now does it or make scarcity.
