Carlos Mesa, opposition candidate of the Citizen Community (CC) party, wants to provoke chaos and a confrontation among Bolivians as happened in El Alto city in 2003, photographer Natalia Ruiz said at the Ex Radisson Hotel.
'He wants to face the same Bolivians on one and the other side, he does not seek settlement in any way, when vote counting is still in the preliminary phase,' Mesa told Prensa Latina at the Criminal Court in the Supreme Electoral Court, where the ballots issued in the October 20 general elections are being counted.
The dialogue was momentarily interrupted by a violent group that was very close to the entrance of the hotel shouting, Death to Evo!, and injured with stones near one eye one of the members of the police cordon to try to enter the building; another television team member also suffered minor injuries.
Once the calm in the lobby of the Real Plaza Hotel has been restored, Ruiz informed this news agency that Mesa aims to create chaos as it happens in other regional countries, and remembered his responsibility when he was the vice president of Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada during El Alto massacre, in which 67 citizens were killed and more than 400 were wounded.
The CC presidential candidate on Tuesday said he will ignore the results of the Transmission of Preliminary Electoral Results (TREP), which ratify the victory of the president and candidate of the Movement towards Socialism (MAS), Evo Morales, in first round.
'With 100% of TREP votes, we will have clearly established that there is no possibility for a runoff,' Mesa said on Monday, after admitting that almost 70% of votes that are not counted are from rural areas, stronghold of MAS, in coincidence with the report of the preliminary TSE results.
In that context, Mesa called for a 'democratic' resistance, in coincidence with the violent actions against the electoral buildings in several Bolivian departments, including the fire occurred at the headquarters of the Departmental Court in Potosi.
