President Evo Morales's resignation has left Bolivia plunged into a wave of violence that has led police in La Paz to declare unable to guarantee public safety and ask the military for help. At night Evo announced that he was leaving for Mexico, which offered him asylum. With the resignation of the president, the deputy and the leaders of the House and Senate, the presidency would be with Jeanine Áñez, second vice president of the Senate.
One day after resigning the presidency of Bolivia, Evo Morales asked Mexico for asylum, as leaders negotiated a constitutional solution to the impasse by calling elections. Congress must meet today and try to remedy the power vacuum. Clashes continue to take place in La Paz.
According to the newspaper O Globo, Bolivia's far-right Christian fundamentalist opposition leader Luis Fernando Camacho asks for help to Brazil's far-right Christian fundamentalist run a foreign ministry to ask for help to stop now-ousted leader Evo Morales.
Meanwhile, in Bolivia, conflicts are becoming increasingly violent. Bolivia's Mayor of Vinto Patricia Arce, affiliated with President Evo Morales's party, has been subjected to a series of violence that reflects the practices of totalitarian state torture and gender-based political violence in Latin America. She had her hair cut forcibly and was covered in a red dye and forced to walk barefoot for miles after a rally of opponents to Evo Morales.
