Yet also resigned he should have been they want to take over and the next one d should be the Senate Precedents but she has. Signed. Well mexicos foreign minister says his country would offer morale theres asylum if the former leader sorters a number of leaders in the region have been responding to this news on twitter brazils president jaya balsa nara said denunciations of Election Fraud resulted in the resignation of president was the lesson for us is the need in the name of democracy and transparency to count votes that can be ordered to the voters hes a sign of clarity for brazil while venezuelas president Nicolas Maduro tweeted we categorically condemn the consummate coup detat against the brother president if a morale is the social and political movements of the world to clear our souls in mobilization to demand the preservation of life of the bolivian 100 peoples victims of racism in america editor of asean human joins us by skype from santiago and lucy a lets talk about some of this reaction it is being cast as a crew of course morale is very much playing the role of victim in the country saying this is an attack on Indigenous People an attack on poor people in bolivia. Yes that he is certainly doing that and he made no mention of the fact that the organization of american states had issued a preliminary results of its audit of those elections that took place exactly 3 weeks ago which showed clearly that there had been a manipulation or him put it another way fraud however that the the expresident now blamed his rival economists amish that and also another major leaguer of the opposition not at the head of the armed forces for forcing him out which is very interesting but we are here in the east and charges of blue collar not only for what alison his supporters not only from the venezuelan intubate leaders as you would expect but also from other countries and other leaders for example the former foreign minister of chile another one yes was no friend of him who would advise and he says that as much of himself is calling this also a pool of talent and integrate with the to institutional democratic order that had been one of the islam would absolutely kill elections as had been demanded by his opponents and i dont deny his american slaves its another that they were all together to be forced to resign apparently pushed out by the army sat and there are a lot of questions out there the say theres questions about the ongoing role of the army now there are questions about the political future the political vacuum that exists in the country and just how much support there remains for morale his and his party. Well he does have support is no doubt about that whether he actually won the elections in the 1st round as he had playing loose is one thing but he does and his supporters and his Political Party continues to have the majority in the clone wrist he has a lot of support on the streets of some areas of the country and its not clear that his supporters will heed this call to just basically back off to prevent bloodshed the other thing is of course it was the it just fill that void the the head of the Vice President presides the president of the senate in the lower house to to the next in line and also resign now we have the president of the Supreme Court possibly filling that role but that hasnt been tired yet so its going to be a very unstable situation in the coming hours and days into the sea thank you so much for that parent who is a journalist focusing on latin america at the grammys and thats an independent news website she believes morales was press it out as president undemocratically. The i think theres no question that what weve just witnessed in bolivia is a military coup what else do you call it when a president is forced to resign after the head of the armed forces someone noble livy and actually voted for called on the president to step down and we should keep in mind able morales is a mandate regardless of what you think about the october 20th result does last until this january so even if we were to invalidate the last of the this last election a vote still is the president or should have been the president until january and instead weve seen him step down saying that hes stepping down because members of his party. Will have actually fallen under threat there holmes of mares and governors were were were attacked by violent demonstrators who threaten to carry them out of their houses and set them on fire we saw public journalists journalist working for a bolivia television dragged out of their offices by these very clearly right wing violent nondemocratic protesters and demanding they stop their broadcast of the demonstrations this to me appears to be completely undemocratic and a clear attack against able moralise and his mandate he was willing to go for elections again. Now to spain where the ruling socialist Workers Party has won the largest share of the vote in the 2nd general election this year with 120 seats it falls short of a majority as a did in the polls and now its facing a difficult path to form a stable government john holl reports from madrid. Muted celebrations for the socialists in spain who win once again the largest share of the vote but not a majority forming a government will be fraught with difficulty caretaker Prime MinisterPedro Sanchez called this election after earlier Coalition Talks failed and believing the socialists would improve their standing in aprils vote the gamble hasnt paid off he will now be under immense pressure to negotiate a Coalition Likely to include the extreme left uniter party and even relying on catalonia separatist parties for support even if these parties the socialist of them are the most of the counseling nationalists are left leaning parties they are very different they have different interests of course want independence these those very much against the size of the socialists catalan separatists have been hugely influential in this election and the last one in april and it will be unthinkable to many in spain that they might provide the key even if just through some voting arrangement to unlocking a socialist government. In barcelona delighted at what some will see as a victory for the independence cause and to make matters worse for the socialists the ongoing capital and drama that threatens the break up of the Spanish State has provoked a shift in Public Opinion to the right the conservative Peoples Party has been rehabilitated and the far right vox party has doubled its share of parliamentary seats to become spains 3rd political force. No one wants to see another election but whatever governing arrangement arises out of this fractious and fragmented Political Landscape it is likely to be neither stable nor longstanding joho aljazeera madrid.
