Protesters in the wealthy, industrial city of Santa Cruz brandished placards at the demonstration late on Friday calling for a “punishment vote” against Morales in the upcoming Oct. 20 presidential election. For weeks, opposition candidates and protesters have called on Morales to declare this year’s surge in wildfires, which have already scorched an area larger than Costa Rica, a national disaster to help facilitate international aid.
Santa Cruz, where organizers said as many as 1.5 million people joined in Friday’s protest, is home to vast tracts of Bolivia’s biodiverse Chiquitano dry forests. They are named for the indigenous people who have inhabited them for hundreds of years.
