JEREMY CORBYN decried the forced resignation of Bolivian President Evo Morales as a coup today, condemning the army’s demand for the socialist leader to step down as “appalling.”
Mr Morales announced his resignation on Sunday night shortly after calls from the head of Bolivia’s army to step down.
In a televised address the president said he made the decision for the “good of the country,” which has seen violent anti-government protests since Morales’s election win on October 20.
