Police guards outside the presidential palace in Bolivia have left their posts, allowing anti-government protesters to enter the compound.
Police against the reelection of President Evo Morales stand on the rooftop of a police station waving national flags just meters away from the presidential palace, in La Paz, Bolivia, Saturday, Nov. 9, 2019. Policemen guarding the exteriors of the presidential palace in La Paz retreated to their barracks on Saturday, while officers in other Bolivian cities have declared mutinies and joined protests against President Evo Morales, who has faced two weeks of unrest over disputed election results.
Some police units in Bolivia became openly defiant toward the government on Friday, an ominous development for Morales as he seeks to stabilize the divided country after claiming victory in the Oct. 20 vote. The political opposition says there was fraud in the election, an allegation that Morales says amounts to an attempt to overthrow Bolivia's rightful government.
