LA PAZ/MEXICO CITY - Bolivia’s interim government presented a bill on Wednesday that aims to forge a path to new elections and defuse street violence that has racked the country and killed 32 people since a disputed October vote.
A date for new elections was not included in the proposal. The bill called for a “credible and professional” election body “in order to pacify the country and redirect democratic institutionality.” Since then, an interim government under conservative former Senator Jeanine Anez has struggled to quell deadly violence, and fanned some divisions with abrupt shifts in policy away from Morales, the country’s first indigenous president.
Conflict in the region of Cochabamba and the high-altitude city of El Alto has rattled Bolivia over the last week since Morales’ departure, with clashes at a gas power plant blockade on Tuesday that left eight people dead. On Wednesday, hundreds of people queued to refill gas canisters in La Paz, while lines of cars snaked though the city’s roads waiting to refuel after protests by Morales supporters choked off fuel and food supplies in recent days.
