    I was on my way here with , to report on a campaign event. It's been suspended due to pro-coup attacks. Bolivia's regime must end this political violence against leftists in the cities. This is not a free election if the largest party can't campaign safely.

    Supporters of Bolivia's Carlos Mesa, in Oruro, throw stones at cars with a MAS flag. Their pro-coup neoliberal project is struggling in the polls, so they resort to political violence. An elected government will need to end this far-right delinquency.
