Moral opponents have set fire to the Mayor of the city of Vinto, in the region of Cochabamba, before Arce stepped out. Throughout Wednesday there have been serious incidents between supporters and opponents of the president, who have not been injured. Clashes have taken place on a regular basis since the elections on 20 October. Morales won, but the opposition has not acknowledged the results, considering that he "has been wrong" and that he "has been deceived".
"I'm not afraid, I'm in a free country."
"I'm not afraid, I'm in a free country," Arce said in front of the cameras, screaming from the crowd, while a few friends with their faces hanging in their arms. "If you want to kill me, get me killed, I won't shut up." The police pulled him out of there.
