a strong signal to the illegitimate regimes in venezuela nicaragua the democracy and the will of the people will always prevail but the situation on the ground is becoming increasingly unstable especially now that the military isn't being 100 percent cooperative right now. because then you have refused to coordinate with the national police or you are saying the military is being overtaken by criminal records which are just entering the capital as a bolivian do your job we do not want more you will be responsible for everything that happens if after my order which i make as president i stand it over the crimes done and it will be your responsibility on his may have gotten to the top sticking to the letter of the law but it's going to take a lot more than that if she wants to patch up latin america's latest political vacuum what we've seen in bolivia with hi nina on is declare herself president and march into the the presidential palace holding a gigantic bible is. actually more flamboyant than what we've seen anything we've
3:07 pm
seen from one why go to present himself as sort of a bookish dapper yuppie but we've also seen her seize power in violation of the constitution of bolivia a complete violation and today vote was rammed through in which anya is declared herself president but the majority of the senators who would have rejected her from his mosque party were not able to take part in the vote because their lives were threatened they basically had guns to their head their families were threatened if they showed up they could have been arrested or killed and so essentially you have a right wing a dictatorship a military regime in power now in bolivia with no constitutional authority now bolivia's political turmoil has also given rise to questions over the country's

3:11 pm
date has been largely peaceful and more celebratory rather than riot see if i may say so also we've seen the police in full riot gear in shopping mall in paris shopping malls because protesters they had promised to occupy one of the trade centers of the for in the french capital and they called it a temple of consumerism some of their chance have been very anti capitalistic so this is this is one of the banners and to which they've been rallying for the past yeah we have to look to some of the protesters to get their opinion as to how they think their movement has shaped and developed in the course of this past year. i called on the yellow vests to come to republic square to join the march and specially to have the right to be on sean's and he say if they want to this is the movement's birthday and a birth to should be celebrated in a good mood even if it's
3:12 pm
a sad thing because one year after the movement started the fact that we're still here is a victory but i spin you means we didn't get a police car and so from our crown and from dublin he's just as usual they used to guess against us for no reason we shoot us for no reason nothing's changed it's always the same on the view they could be ready to reap the fruits of our labor which we've been cultivating for a year if the government doesn't get it and he you have it people will speak out as a result of the protests the french government and president mccrone they had to make certain concessions to comply with least with some of the demands of of the riots has and of the protesters for instance they froze the. whole to the hike in fuel taxes for about a year but people here are clearly saying that that is not nearly enough to come to and them down to make them happy this saturday the protests were much more violent for instance the rioters occupied the italian square. in southern paris and we've
