BOLIVIAN workers mobilised in mass protests against the US-backed interim government yesterday in a second day of action to “save democracy.”

The Bolivian Workers’ Union (Cob) and the Unity Pact are among those angered over the delay to presidential elections from September 6 to October 18, which was announced by the “coup administration” of interim president Jeanine Anez last week.

It is the third time that polling has been delayed, with authorities insisting that it would be unsafe to hold the election due to the coronavirus pandemic.
