      Añez first declared herself president of the Senate (MAS-IPSP president and VP both had resigned), then took office of president on the basis of the unavailability of the President, VP.

        These acts violated expectations if not the law. MAS-IPSP senators (if there are enough left) could have voted in a new Senate president

          And the legislature was expected to consider Evo Morales and Álvaro García Linera's resignation letters.

            It's unclear if Añez took these moves to overcome quorum issues, surpass a MAS-IPSP boycott, outflank an alternate figure or just to speed up the process.

              Including the MAS-IPSP and its millions of voters (a plurality in October) is absolutely vital for the interim president and today was a very bad show of doing so.

                But another night of interim military rule is also a bad sign for democracy. No easy choice.

                  MAS-IPSP will have to decide if they are boycotting post-Evo government or playing to win. Soon.

                    Evo Morales appears to be boycotting. @evoespueblo/1194401300651397121?s=19
