Bolivia Protests: "Evistas" Threaten Violence Over Evo Morales' Election Ban
Bolivia Faces Political Unrest as "Evistas" Threaten Violence: Tensions rise in Bolivia as supporters of former president Evo Morales, known as "Evistas," threaten to burn down the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) and engage in violent confrontations with the police. This follows a ruling by the Constitutional Court declaring both continuous and discontinuous reelection unconstitutional, effectively barring Morales from the upcoming elections. In a video interview, a protest leader stated, "If we have to burn down this electoral tribunal, we will." This statement underscores the intensity of the situation and the potential for escalating violence. The protests highlight deep divisions within Bolivian society and the ongoing struggle for political power. The government faces the challenge of maintaining order while addressing the concerns of the protesters. The situation remains volatile, and the international community is closely monitoring developments.
