Over the past three weeks, mass protests have been underway in Bolivia. People took to the streets when the voting results were voiced; the CEC declared that socialist candidate Evo Morales, who had been ruling the country since 2006, won the presidential election again. His main opponent Carlos Mesa accused the incumbent president of election engineering.
On November 8, the police started to come over to the protesters’ side. Two days later, Morales resigned.
