LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) - Police guards outside the presidential palace in Bolivia left their posts on Saturday, increasing pressure on President Evo Morales as he tries to stabilize the country after a disputed election. Growing dissension in police ranks poses a new threat to Morales, who claimed victory after the Oct. 20 vote but has since faced nationwide protests in which three people have been killed and hundreds injured.
Morales faces "the most complicated moment" in his 14 years in power and the situation could deteriorate, said Jorge Dulón, a political analyst at the Catholic University of Bolivia in La Paz.

Oh Latin America.
Now I feel like watching Madonna in “Evita” and playing the soundtrack from “Motorcycle Diaries” based on Che Guevara.
After 14 years in power, is it any wonder?
He had helicopter problems the other day. Wonder if Putin will help his pal?
Too bad Pinochet is no longer with us, he would have offered him a “free” helicopter ride! Chile is right next door, after all! ;)
There have been riots in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, of course Venezuela is far from stable - now Bolivia.
The dominoes are falling rapidly in South America.
They’ll come this way too.
LOL
Chile needs another Pinochet. Perhaps they all do.
Trump needs to find his inner Pinochet and deal with ‘Rats and their media boosters accordingly.
Thanks for posting. Interesting.
If I remember correctly this Morales character was best buds with Hugo Chavez. If so, this guy is a commie dictator.
In the 1980s I dated a girl from Chile. Chileans called Bolivia the “Long Play” country. For the younger people in the crowd, LPs are the large vinyl records. I asked why Bolivia is called the LP country. Her answer was because like LPs, Bolivia runs at 32 revolutions per minute.
somebody kill that little Communist toad already and give the people of Bolivia back their freedom.
Then do the same to Maduro and his successor in Venezuela. Make like its 1956 all over again.
