The Organization of American States has backed the continuity of the presidential mandate and praised the government’s management of Bolivia’s 53-day crisis, while identifying nine tasks that remain unfinished.
The report, due to be presented to the Permanent Council, says blockades threatened democratic order. It also assesses that the government avoided using disproportionate force during the crisis.
At the same time, the OAS calls for violence to be investigated and for due process to be guaranteed. It also recommends creating a permanent mechanism for dialogue.
The document therefore offers support for the government’s handling of the crisis while setting out further institutional and legal measures that it says still need to be completed.
