Bolivia's interim President Jeanine Anez asks Congress to approve a law that would allow for new elections

Bolivian interim President Jeanine Anez shows a document as she presents a bill on the Transition Electoral Regime for the 2020 general elections at Quemado presidential palace in La Paz on November 20, 2019.

Morales, who fled to Mexico after resigning November 10, accused the Bolivian security forces of engaging in "genocide" against his indigenous supporters and called for action by the international community. Speaking to reporters, Anez said she hoped the caretaker government's proposal — which also seeks the annulment of the original ballot and the formation of a new election tribunal — would form the basis for generating "a national consensus."
