Violence In Bolivia As Pro-Morales Protesters Clash With Riot Police | Firstpost America | N18G

Protests by pro-Evo Morales supporters in Bolivia took a violent turn on Thursday. Bolivian riot police clashed with supporters of former President Evo Morales during anti-government demonstrations in La Paz. Police used tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters who responded with rocks, firecrackers and tyres. Pro-Evo Morales supporters have been carrying out protests demanding his candidacy for the August election. Earlier this month, a constitutional court upheld a ban on any individual serving more than two presidential terms, and Morales has already served three. The court verdict effectively prevents Morales from running in the election again. Meanwhile, earlier this month, President Luis Acre, who was expected to seek a second term, withdrew from the race and called on Morales to do the same in an attempt to unify the fractured MAS party.
