Police guards outside Bolivia's presidential palace abandoned their posts, increasing pressure on President Evo Morales.
Bolivia’s electoral authority announced Monday night that President Evo Morales was close to avoiding a runoff in his reelection bid, touching off protests by the leader’s opponents.
“We’ll never confront the people among whom we live. We guarantee peaceful coexistence,” Kaliman said. “This is a political problem and it should be resolved within that realm.”A list of demands from dissident police officers included better working conditions, the resignation of their commander and guarantees that they won’t be used as a political “instrument of any government.”
Morales later gave a news conference at a military airport in which he appealed to Bolivia’s political factions to hold talks. He said the four parties that received the most votes in the nine-candidate election should sit down with “an open agenda to pacify Bolivia.”“I have nothing to negotiate with Evo Morales, who has lost all grip on reality,” Mesa said.
