RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Mexican Chancellor Marcelo Ebrard has confirmed the information on his Twitter account.
The Bolivian leader resigned on Sunday, November 10th, after a 21-day wave of protests.
“We will enforce the right to asylum that Mexico has consistently upheld and exercised in the different historical circumstances that characterize our foreign policy,” said a statement issued by the Mexican government.
The statement stated that the country will request an urgent meeting with the Organization of American States (OAS) to discuss recent events in Bolivia.
In addition to Evo, Vice-President Álvaro García Linera, Chamber of Deputies President Víctor Borda and Senate President Adriana Salvatierra have also resigned from their posts.
It is now up to the legislature to choose a new president of the Senate so that Morales’ resignation may be accepted and new elections may be held.
