BOLIVIA: Post-election protests pick up steam
The scale of the victory achieved by President-elect Luis Arce and the Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) in Bolivia’s 18 October general election [WR-20-42] had prompted cautious optimism that the widely predicted post-election unrest might not come to pass after all. Initial protests rejecting the election result had appeared half-hearted, lacking the support of either political leaders or electoral observers – but more than two weeks later, with Arce’s 8 November inauguration impending, sizeable crowds are taking to the streets in several major cities, and these protests seem to be gathering momentum as time goes on.
