with just enough votes to avoid a 2nd round runoff but it did trigger suspicions of. and it's nationwide protests have been taking place over the past few weeks and that puts south america's longest serving leader under increasing pressure as opposition groups mounted a furious challenge to his 14 year rule so big developments unfolding there in bolivia algiers marianna sanchez joins us now on the line from the city of santa cruz did i sierra so we now have this announcement of rather says resignation this after the head of the armed forces was asking that he step down very early days at the moment but has there been any initial reaction. well mary i'm. told what i meant to tell she was signed we had been monitoring the presidential plane that had left took off from the cycle 9 airport back in the fall

and there was speculation that the president look on the plane with other people however he had been lying on television announcing his resignation from 50 approach alarm the 3rd most important cities of of the b.s. and like you were saying that this happened is looking now where. is the head of the armed forces just said that the president should resign now since as you were saying there have been unfolding as a map to peace in the last few weeks the last 48 hours and she'd say. they were looking in the police department of one of the largest cities of the year and that it triggered a mutiny of the police units in other cities of the new york armed then the armed forces said that they would favor dialogue and they said that they would not go off

to the protesters have been clashes for. the last since the october 20th vote. especially the moment. came this morning after this damning report by organization of american states and all of the vote people that have them on the proper 20 where they said that there were serious irregularities and that commander says the new election should be filled in by. now it's back to seeing president obama rallies. with the country in flames in many areas of low support of the armed forces 1st called for come keep. walter dyer well he said that he would hold new elections but the people and all throughout the day have been talking about the country saying that they felt true and they continue to demand more of this is the submissions it's why give it pay is

that iran is was trying to make some concessions that some people in the country and certainly to the opposition who were very suspicious of that election by saying that there should be a rerun but it seems that that is too little too late and marianna i know that at the moment you want traveling you're in the city of santa cruz to the sierra but you know on the road can you just explain what you're seeing and hearing around you and give us a sense of the security situation at the moment well yes now this city it sounds like this is the most important city awful yet it's the economic stronghold of this country and it was the opposition stronghold as well. of of was in the now i didn't go around it and they're both saying everywhere and the case has been like this since you'll tell the 20 votes the city

company can shut down is supermarkets open like a couple of hours in the morning everything everything is closed those are getting people going out but. right now you could start seeing more people going out celebrating we've been hearing over the fireworks. 9 is probably going to freeze up some that this fire was just people beginning to celebrate the resignation of president little motherless. right and of course there was a great deal of suspicion around them raw this is. election victory of a not me he declared victory in that election but some of the polls going into that but suggested that though he might do well he wouldn't get enough for an outright victory to avoid a runoff now despite that fact in point to point out that he he definitely has his fair share of supporters inside the country as well he does you know he does have

a lot of supporters who have been supporting shinji's a few weeks there but also this one of the election there was a referendum. to decide whether president obama ballots could run for the 4th time and how close the country is 50 points. where the 51 percent of the country said no but then again 48449 percent of the country said yes and a lot of support in the rule area of what do young people who have benefited most from just policy that he continues to have a lot of support there so we'll see what the reaction will be once they have this reputation was just come through and we still have to see what the people who supported him with others that have supported him throughout these nearly 40 years of government will say and how did he react right marianna actually with just

hearing from every roddick's now he is facing state t.v. was going to you you know see visibly role model and as a liberal has said we should continue with the construction of the pro process of liberation is a member of the only to do no good or evil. thank you to the bit of him people that have. shown this in the 13 years. 7. years believe you 1st of all in the number one and economic growth of south america. and the economic plan. which. you. and person persons i'm very sorry if they just want to believe you to continue

growing. my sin being the leader of the union and being an engine. in. the groups that. do not understand i don't understand how they can use the bible but in order to. mistreat the family. i don't i cannot understand how some groups use. prayers to discriminate i don't understand how these groups. can hate the forest. so i think my position as president in order that the people who love. the poor people are not serving. anymore. i'm resigning for them the poor family is. yes.

and the lies but you have to be satisfied we don't want there to be confrontation this morning early this morning we. met. ministers and we decided to resign. in order there should be new elections do you believe you are all for life or for the. country and mainly especially the poor people should not be trodden on. you know. you know. my brother's house is should not be. burned and their wives and children should not be. threatened you know families shouldn't be drugged me.

family houses should not be burned it really hurts me to hear this morning. that. police how can the police abandon the family as how can the bolivian police allow people to be beaten and i mean. i heard this morning. that the president of the congress now the ex-president was crying saying that his house but not only burnt but 1st ransacked and then his brother was taken. so. i mean. his brother was taken to the main square and burned lots of people resigned to save their families. we have resigned.

you know i don't want to see this kind of. treatment anymore. you know very well 21st of october of this year the could have started with the burning of the ballot stations. that night. it is. and ms. i want you to understand there's no this is not. any treason in the in the fact about resigning the fight continues. so. we are. and thanks to the unity. not only political but also

social and cultural liberty we have liberated bolivia and we are leaving a free. country in the process of development. and we are leaving you generations that have a great future. i want to say some young people have to be more. unified. poorest people the most needed have values and some sectors of the national police force should only be instrumental in the. capitalist. ways that 80 percent. we have come from the. country that fortunately for the republican so therefore.

everyone thank you for supporting us and we. from this evening. express we don't want. to do. any more burning of houses to take place so you. know i mean. if you want to take vengeance take vengeance against me not against my sister this house was burned down scene but i mean. you know you. got you. let me get it out there yeah these killers. and all they want is to burn and burn i don't understand this.

like you know you know i mean ourselves i mean and it's for these reasons that we are resigning that this thing should not continue. the fight will continue. 13 years 9 months 13 days we have been together. we've never been a government. with. you know. these personal aspirations are financial aspirations and i want to thank you very much for coming me if we learn together we've been together. and. never in the past have presidents or vice presidents spoken they've never worked together.

but as we've shared by you know to me it's good things together and i thank you for coming here. this. is. also this is an insult and the workers and the extra mean this is. an assembly just this . these supporters who have helped us in. a great. i mean people. you know. my. god competitors who are from the tropics well. he's.

always got a. good. deal of. for personal reasons up recently so they will see. and will come back and we will be waiting. to sharing our experiences. it's all. of words and. people saying that. this is keeping i haven't stolen from anything from anybody so we are hearing from. some strong and quite passionate remarks from him actually suggesting that although he has submitted his resignation he has been forced to do so against his will he said in his words that his only sin was the

fact that he was indigenous and that he was a union leader and suggesting that this is all happening because he's not part of the stablish meant he said that he was doing this to protect his supporters and his family he mentions specifically the house of his sister and he said that his his sister's house has been burnt down he said that if people want to come after him then they should do so but he spoke out against any violence perpetrated against his family or his supporters and he century seem to say that he has resigned for the sake of the poor people of bolivia an effort to avoid confrontation and bloodshed and to preserve the unity of the country well marianna sanchez joins us now she is inside bolivia and although morales is resigning there is fighting talk from him he is saying that he has been effectively forced out of power because of mutiny or rebellion that he is doing this against his well what implications

could this have. well the 1st piece. a 9 of the a things we heard a. a earlier today is that she looks live in the country for argentina actually it was not to think of her arm bar and just that said that he returned to the area where he came from a union leader a of the cocoa farmers in the carter region that's a strong corporate seems to have given. the farmers a lot of legislation in the past studied it for 2 years of government so he very much life is very much protected there now however there are a lot of questions out of people are talking about writing from the election questions about the transparency for example people people are saying now well who ordered yeah let's pull from people here are convinced that the results of the organization of american states ought to. stick with poor to afford although the

organisation hasn't called it that way now even with that it's cold this morning said members of the supreme court. will court saying that they should all be replaced. but in the face of his 6 failure to name people. why didn't he stop short 9 before claiming that there was a coup this time the making and. the claims of transparency with a call for new elections so maryam i think back to there will be a lot of questions a lot of constitutional lawyers will be. talking very soon and of course the political animals of all modalities are already claiming that there should be another type of the solution here in many people's lives of all over our lives vision of our lives of immortality we want him to go to jail. all right thank you

very much. will definitely be coming back to you and i asked marianna sanchez reporting to us from inside bolivia but also want to just talk to journalists now who joins us on the phone now from as a journalist and author linda following. had been defiant up until now he was refusing to make concessions now suddenly we have this announcement that he is stepping down how would you describe what is happening here and why he is resigning. well i think that the situation is standing out of control in bolivia at the present time carlos mesa who is essentially a centrist candidate who came in 2nd in the elections after able not alice this morning called for all of the elections to take place for new elections to take place but for evermore alice and of little garcia nana who is his vice

president to not be allowed to stand. he reiterated or he said quite clearly and as did the organization of american states april should stay in power and till the end of his mandate current mandate which is the 22nd of january now let's happy and with this situation of this burning and attacking by the opposition of the mosque he has resigned and so now the question is what's next what government is there going to be some kind of temporary government or transition government that will call elections this was not what the main opposition candidate called for at 930 this morning so it's it's it's a situation that is very fluid obviously but also very worrying because the

the chief protagonist at the particular. at this particular point is probably the head of the civic committee in santa cruz. which is the largest opposition stronghold and he is the one who's calling for a transition government now he is represented as the city of santa cruz but he's certainly not a national official nor did he run the inn in the elections as you say a great deal on sunday it's not schol what happens now there had been calls for a run of the election but now with morales announcing that he is. resigning it's not a whether that will be some sort of transitional body taking over a cat take a government and if so how that's going to be put together important that his announcement comes after the head of the armed forces requested that he step down for the stability of the country might the military now stepan

well we hope not. i don't know the military has stayed out of bolivian politics directly for now 45 years. certainly well treated by the majlis government which meant that they were that they sided with the majlis government consistently. but like anywhere in latin america and anywhere in the world for that matter the military has a lot of power and a lot of influence so we're they decide to go in this could be decisive meanwhile what's the public reaction likely to be this is a divided country. was mentioning his indigenous support i mean to the all indigenous people by and large in the country support him or is it a more complicated picture i think it's more complicated i think that a lot of people who i speak to working class people mostly urban because i haven't

been out into the rural areas recently but mostly they say yes we're worried about. even staying in power too long he's been in power too long you know we have this awful authoritarian history so we would like to see a new leader in place but we really want the policies that he put that his government put in place to continue because they have been the primary beneficiaries of those policies. thank you very much appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us linder and i'm sure we'll touch base with you again as we learn more about what has taken place so just look at pictures here of it all morale is announcing his resignation latin america's longest serving leader he has been latin america's on the longest of any of that lead up until now but he has announced he is stepping down this after the country's military chief insisted

that he do so for stability in the country and also this off to widespread protests and unrest because of suspicions of fraud in last month's presidential election. well we want to go to our other top story this hour now votes are being counted in spain's general election was shaping up to become a battle for power between the country's fragmented left and right it's the 4th time that spaniards have gone to the polls in 4 years and socialist leader and acting prime minister petro sanchez is projected to win the most votes but without a clear majority there's also a surge in support for the conservatives and the far right so live now to jonah how a who's in the capital madrid forests and obviously polls have been closed for a while what's happening there at the moment any information. here we've pretty much got the final picture now with some 80 percent of the votes counted now as you say that so she's to have as predicted one of the largest share

of the folk but without a majority to be able to govern alone which is difficult to produce such as the caretaker prime minister the socialist socialist leader he will now be under immense pressure to form some sort of a coalition after all no one in spain wants to see a 5th election take place in a little over 4 years and the other top line coming out of these election results is as you say a surge of support for the right securely the far right party that only entered parliament back in april that was historic the 1st time a far right force has been in parliament since the days of franco the fox party in this election more than doubling its cheap count and that the back of renewed tensions in catalonia let me bring in my guest now may go and show morata joins me he's a writer and political commentator thanks for joining us dr sanchez called this election hoping to improve his situation hoping to solve this problem it's done anything but

no not really he has refuted the same results he had this is not a disaster he could have been worse there were polls predicting that he would lose several seats he doesn't look lost to he didn't lose that many just final 2 perhaps at the end of the night but he's really soft for. he will now have to try and form a coalition now there's only one option to his left the problem is that that is not enough so he will have to count on the support of the prime dependents bartley's one of them for the printer pens cup arts and catalonia this is problematic not only because he's unpopular among many people in his home in the rest of spain but also because it will lead to a very weak government a government that will not be able to pass its laws that it will have problems pass no new budget and all these things of course are a source of concern but it's an extraordinary thought particularly for outsiders that the catalonia independence drama that has formed the backdrop to this election and the april election that has caused such high emotion in this country might end

up seeing some of those separatists them sort themselves involved in a future government how on earth will they get away with that well because of the new politics in spain are of these particularly tea they are extremely divisive and the division between bret look right and left is so profound that it doesn't really matter and much which sort of left or which sort of right if you are and for example you have a far right party vox in iraq the conservatives would have no problem in forming a coalition with them unlike in other countries germany for example or sweden this things are front up or not in spain and on the other hand in the left it doesn't matter for the leftist to join forces with defenders parties as long as they belong to the left so there's a huge cultural divide which placed us in a very different way than other contact and making matters more uncomfortable still for federal centers of the socialists and whatever government of the left he manages to form is this shift in opinion and power to the right the doubling of the

voter of the box party it makes for pretty uncomfortable circumstances in which to govern for this fragile government of the not just for the government i would say it's almost more problematic for the positions for the conservatives who had a good night tonight the they increased. normally the number of seats but now with fox so close they will be in trouble for example one possible solution would be for them to support a minority socialist government just for let's say technical reasons to allow the government to function or even to join them in a grand coalition although this is far fetched misplay never never happen and never has happened i think but now know that they will have to be very careful of what they do because if they now support a socialist even if it is passively the far right is going to say well look they are the same if you want right both ross whichever way you look at it whatever government comes out of all of this is going to be fragile he's not going to be stable and he's potentially not going to be very large long lasting well i don't

know for long lasting because in spain because of the constitution it's very difficult to bring down a government when i think the problem will be with economy especially. worrying signs now the economy is new she is using strength not just the rest of the world of the city spain as well. and this is highly problematic because we are now on the same budget that was approved 3 years ago by the previous conservative government by the way. well i can't see how a new budget can be passed with these numbers to order to get onto thanks for joining us so all but final results in there are a victory for the socialists a long way still towards forming a coalition government but how to differ with respect to thank you very much for the latest from madrid. when out of all the stories are watching turkey's defense ministry says at least 8 people have been killed in a car bombing in northeastern syria attack took place in such
