BOLIVIAN immigration minister Marcel Rivas has been accused of inciting violence against journalists and international observers ahead of Sunday’s general election.
On Thursday evening Mr Rivas took to Twitter to accuse the Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) of inviting “four well-known extreme-left agitators linked to the criminal Maduro regime,” a reference to the Venezualan President.
And he warned that election observers who violate the stated purpose of their visit to Bolivia would “suffer the consequences.”
