Bolivians to rally for indigenous wiphala flag after racist attack

BOLIVIANS are set to rally in defence of the indigenous wiphala flag on Tuesday as part of a nationwide mobilisation spearheaded by the governing Movement Towards Socialism.

Its leader, former Bolivian president Evo Morales, has called for party members and supporters to wear a wiphala during the protest as “an act of atonement.”

The rallies will be “in defence of the homeland, of democracy, of the wiphala and of President Luis Arce,” he said.
