The president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, announced his resignation during a press conference. The president said he made this decision to prevent further escalation of violence against the people, caused by opposition forces.
Morales had called hours before for new general elections in Bolivia "to seek peace."
"All for life, all for the country, for democracy and also for social justice," said the president.
However, Morales condemned that the civic groups have not accepted the dialogue proposed by his Government and, although new elections were announced and several of his demands were guaranteed, "now they reject everything" and ask for his "resignation".
"This is conspiring against democracy, this is a coup d'etat," the Bolivian head of state condemned.
Morales leaves a country with high rates of human development, guaranteeing the fundamental rights of the population and with an economic growth of 4.5 percent, according to the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean.
