Presidential Palace in La Paz, November 2019.
If
the bill is passed, a committee will be set up to set a time to hold the new
presidential election. Anez expressed her hope that the bill would provide the
basis for the consensus of the Bolivian people.
On the same day, former
President Morales announced that he would continue to hold his post until the
end of his term, in case Congress rejected his resignation. The Bolivian
Congress has not yet considered Morales's resignation. Morales also called on the
international community to prevent control of demonstrations by excessive force
in Bolivia.
* Meanwhile, protests by both
supporters of former President Morales and the opposition continue throughout Bolivia,
forcing police and military forces to take deterrent measures. Thirty people
have died and more than 700 have been injured in street riots.
* Many countries and
international organisations have expressed concern about President Anez's
approval of an ordinance that allows the military to participate in controlling
and restoring public order, without incurring any criminal liability. According
to the Russian Foreign Ministry, the situation in Bolivia is still
"alarming".
