LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) — Bolivia’s interior minister has resigned over a police crackdown on marchers opposed to a jungle highway that they say would despoil an indigenous preserve.
Sacha Llorenti is the third senior Bolivian official to step down over the weekend crackdown, following the defense minister and a deputy interior minister.
The backlash from the crackdown is a major setback for President Evo Morales.
