Police keep protesters from blocking more lanes as they protest for the resignation of Bolivian President Luis Arce for his management of the economy in Corapata, on the outskirts of El Alto, Bolivia, September 16, 2024
BOLIVIA’s former leader Evo Morales has called on supporters to take to the streets to protest against President Luis Arce after the latter gave a televised address accusing Mr Morales of trying to overthrow him.
He made his appeal to farmers, miners and peasants on Monday after Mr Arce’s unprecedented broadcast the previous day.
The president alleged that Mr Morales was trying to sabotage his administration and undermine democracy.
