@darrylzer0 @samhusseini @AndeanInfoNet I don't know for these two and would like to. Salvatierra's resignation basically says it is happening under duress.

@darrylzer0 @samhusseini @AndeanInfoNet Over the weekend, the violence escalated. Pro-MAS campesinos and gunmen attacked anti-election fraud protest caravans (i.e., buses) on the way to La Paz. Direct reprisals for these attacks targeted homes of MAS politicians in the cities of origin of the caravans.

@darrylzer0 @samhusseini @AndeanInfoNet The burning of the Cocalero federation/MAS party headquarters in Cochabamba on the night the police mutiny was also a signal that civilian arson would not be punished.

@darrylzer0 @samhusseini @AndeanInfoNet So you had three kinds of resignations: resignations by politicians "to protect my family" in response to specific attacks; resignations out of a general fear; and resignations (like MAS Senator Rene Joaquino) in outrage over violence from his own party.
