Caracas, Nov 16 (Prensa Latina) Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza called on the international community to condemn the repression unleashed by Bolivia's de facto authorities against popular demonstrations in rejection of the coup.
'Excessive repression and massacre in Cochabamba, on November 15. Strong images, but necessary to denounce the repressive and dictatorial character of those who have assaulted power in Bolivia. The International Community must condemn and act to stop this barbarism ', Arreaza wrote in his headline on the social network Twitter.

'I condemn and denounce to the world that the coup regime that took power by assault on my dear Bolivia represses with bullets from the Armed Forces and the Police the people who demand pacification and replacement of the rule of law', denounced at the same time the deposed President Evo Morales.

'Now they kill our brothers in Sacaba, Cochabamba', added the legitimate president, who resigned last Sunday to the highest magistracy to avoid further bloodshed and the resurgence of the aggression of the extreme right against the indigenous population and members of his government.

Protesters confirmed on Friday the death of eight people in clashes against the Police and the Army of Bolivia, according to a transmission from the Pat channel.

A person participating in the protest told the chain that in the morning uniformed men asked them to leave sticks and other blunt objects, he said, and they complied, but when they returned to the march the military forces attacked them with gases and gunfire.

We can confirm that in hospitals there are so far eight deaths in the crashes, according to the person interviewed by the channel.
