<p>Former Bolivian President Evo Morales
condemned Monday right-wing opposition leaders Carlos
Mesa and Lusi Camacho for failing to stop the
violence in the country and warning that they intend to
blame him for such violence instead of taking
responsibility following the coup against his leftist
government. </p>

Condemn Coup Against Evo Morales in Bolivia</a></strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p>"Mesa and Camacho, discriminators and conspirators,
will go down in history as racists and coup
plotters," Morales said in a tweet early Monday
morning. </p>
<p>"That they assume their responsibility to pacify the
country and guarantee the political stability and
peaceful coexistence of our people. The world and
Bolivian patriots repudiate the coup."</p>
<p>He added that those behind the coup against his
government, who had vandalized his house and burned his
sister's house "now lie and try to blame us for the
chaos and violence they have caused. Bolivia and the
world witness the coup."</p>
<p>He concluded his morning tweets with thanking the
solidarity shown by his supporters in Bolivia and
abroad. "Very grateful to the solidarity of the people,
brothers from Bolivia and the world who reach out with
recommendations, suggestions and expressions of
recognition that give us encouragement, strength and
energy. They moved me to tears. They never abandoned me;
I will never abandon them," Morales said. </p>
<p>Evo Morales was forced to resign Sunday after senior
army and police chiefs called on him to do so following
weeks of right-wing unrest and violence against his Oct.
20 elections victory, in what his government has called
a coup by opposition forces in the country. </p>
<p>“I decided to resign from my position so that Carlos
Mesa and Luis Camacho stop abusing and harming thousands
of brothers ... I have the obligation to seek peace and
it hurts a lot that we face Bolivians, for this reason,
so I will send my letter of resignation to the
Plurinational Assembly of Bolivia,” the former president
of Bolivia said in a press release. </p>
<p>Bolivian Vice President Alvaro Garcia Linera also said
that he was resigning from his position. The two leaders
said that they would be handing their resignation
letters to the country's National Assembly.</p>
<p>Since both President and Vice Presiden resigned, the
president of the Senate, a position held by Adriana
Salvatierra of the MAS party was supposed to assume the
post but she later issued her resignation as well as the
president of the Chamber of Deputies.</p>
<p>Currently, the line of succession is broken in Bolivia.</p>
<p>Morales and Garcia Linera will stay in Chimore in the
central Department of Cochabamba to work with the
people. "We will come back and we will be millions as
Tupac Amaru II said," Morales declared.</p>
