In Bolivia, the former president and opponent of Evo Morales in the last elections, Carlos Mesa, described what happened on Sunday as "the end of tyranny." “To Bolivia, to its people, to young people, to women, to the heroism of peaceful resistance.

The leader Luis Fernando Camacho, president of the Santa Cruz Civic Committee and who for days insisted on asking Morales to resign, said on social networks that "our struggle is not with weapons is with faith."

Our fight is not with weapons, it is with FAITH.
God bless #Bolivia!

For his part, the president of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, said on Twitter that Bolivia suffered a "coup d'etat" that "undermines democracy" and expressed its "solidarity" with Evo Morales. In another publication, he argued that "the opposition coup strategy" has unleashed "deaths, hundreds of wounded and condemned expressions of racism."

The Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed in a statement its "deep concern about the serious irregularities" shown in the report of the Organization of American States. "Brazil considers the convening of new general elections pertinent in response to the legitimate protests of its people and the recommendations of the OAS, following the finding of serious irregularities."

Brazil's former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who was released recently, spoke on his Twitter account and how Díaz-Canel spoke of a "coup d'etat":

I have just learned that there was a coup d'etat in Bolívia and that my companion @ evoespueblo was forced to resign. He regretted that in Latin America there was an economic elite that did not know how to share democracy with two poor people.

The Foreign Ministry of Colombia said in a statement that "invites representatives of state institutions, different political parties and society as a whole to work hand in hand to ensure a peaceful transition process."
