Supporters of Evo Morales, who resigned from office on November 10, marched into La Paz on Thursday bearing the coffins of their fellow activists.
The marchers tried to place an effigy of interim President Jeanine Áñez and one of the coffins on top of an armored vehicle and drive it into the town square, close to where the presidential palace is located. Chanting for justice and demanding the resignation of Áñez, thousands had participated in the funeral parade, which stretched from El Alto to La Paz, a 9-mile walk. The protesters they were bearing with them were killed during a clash with police near a fuel plant on Tuesday.
On October 26, 2019, Morales was again accused of election fraud after a last-minute 10 percent surge in votes in his favor was reported during a 2019 presidential election. An October 30 report by the Organization of American States reported that the vote was so"riddled" by technical errors that it was impossible to tell who the election's victor was, with the last-minute voter surge being deemed"highly unlikely.
