At a time when dust is intoxicated in Bolivia, a new head of state has been proclaimed on Wednesday. Jeanine Áñez is the new president of Bolivia. However, several sectors have denounced that takeover has been a "fraud" in the public sector. The parliamentary group MAS, Morales, has not come to the vote as a symbol of protest at the ex-president's release. Therefore, with the support of one third of the House, Áñez has been able to take office.

In this situation, Morales has applauded the decision taken by his party before the Moncloa court. Many countries have not positioned themselves around the conflict in Bolivia, but Brazil and the United States have been pleased with the appointment of a new president.
