Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif congratulated the victory of the Bolivian people and their elected president in the presidential elections in that country.
“I offer my most sincere congratulations to the heroic Bolivian people, on the occasion of their victory over the destabilizing conspiracies of the Yankee empire,” he said in a tweet published Tuesday.
I express to the heroic people of Bolivia, my most sincere congratulations for their overwhelming victory over the destabilizing plans of the Yankee Empire.
Congratulations to the president-elect, Luis Arce, and vice-president David Choquehuanca for this valuable popular victory.– Javad Zarif (@JZarif) October 20, 2020
In addition, on Tuesday, the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran, Saeed Khatibzadeh, congratulated the Bolivian people and the winners of the presidential elections for conducting these elections in a calm environment and with broad voter participation.
Bolivia announced yesterday that Evo Morales, candidate of the “Movement for Socialism”, Luis Arce, won the presidential elections, at the expense of centrist candidate Carlos Mesa.
The quick count of the Bolivian channel “Unitel” showed that RCI obtained 52.4% of the votes, while the centrist candidate, Carlos Mesa, obtained 31.5%.
This occurs, almost a year after the resignation of Evo Morales, and at a delicate stage in Bolivia, especially since it witnessed a year of tension in the context of a coup led by the right-wing opposition against Morales, who He accused him of manipulating an election in which he won a fourth term.
The resignation was followed by acts of violence and repression against Morales’ Bolivian supporters, launched by the interim government led by Giannin Anis, which assumed the reins of power until new presidential elections. And it seems that the results of the primary elections will prevent the country from a serious political crisis.
The former president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, confirmed Tuesday that the issue of his return to Bolivia “has only become a matter of time.”
During a press conference from the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires, Morales highlighted the option of socialism and the insistence of Bolivians in it, especially after the candidate of his party, Luis Arce, won the presidential elections from the first session of the Monday, according to unofficial results.
