The Chavist President of Bolivia has resigned and fled the
capital after mass protests against the questionable election results announced
by his election tribunal declared him the winner of a fourth term, despite a
constitutional two-term limit. The
Bolivian people had rejected a referendum in 2016 to end presidential term
limits, but the court loyal to the President allowed him to serve another
term. The leaders of the tribunal are
among those who have been arrested. Inspired
by Venezuelan Socialist dictator Hugo Chavez, who was elected and then became tyrannical, the left-wing anti-American
Bolivian President had become increasingly authoritarian.
May Bolivia enjoy peace, liberty and
representative government based upon free and fair elections.
