Some rebellious policemen have joined the protesters in the anti-government movement.
“We were evicted by force after receiving constant threats from people gathered outside,” Maldonado told AFP. Morales denounced the seizure of the media outlets. “They say they defend democracy, but they behave as if they were in a dictatorship,” he tweeted.He called earlier in the day for urgent, open-ended dialogue with opposition parties holding seats in the National Assembly, but he pointedly excluded the powerful regional civic committees opposing him.
During the night the rebellion reached other cities but mostly spared La Paz, the country’s administrative capital, local media reported. Buses carrying opposition activists to La Paz came under attack Saturday by Morales supporters in rural Vila Vila, about 160 kilometres southeast of La Paz, an opposition leader, Rodrigo Echalar, said on television.
