LA PAZ - Bolivia’s new interim president on Wednesday said she wanted elections as soon as possible and denied a coup had taken place against former leader and newly-exiled Evo Morales, who hinted he could return to Bolivia.
“If my people ask, we’re ready to go back. We’ll return sooner or later ... to pacify Bolivia,” he said at a news conference in Mexico City. On Wednesday, television showed large numbers of police around the central Plaza Murillo in La Paz. They appeared to block MAS lawmakers, including the former head of the senate Adriana Salvatierra, from entering the government building.Salvatierra had announced her resignation publicly but said Wednesday that her resignation letter had not been presented before the legislature and thus was not finalized. “I’m still senator,” Salvatierra told journalists.
Bolivia’s Attorney General has said that there have been seven fatalities in the 23 days of conflict, including in the cities of La Paz, Santa Cruz and Cochabamba. “It seems she is going to act in a fair way and will get us out of this mess,” Jose Clarens said on his way to a market. Conservative-led Brazil and Britain congratulated Anez. A U.S. official said Washington would “look forward to working with her and Bolivia’s other civilian authorities as they arrange free and fair elections as soon as possible.”
