LA PAZ, Bolivia — President Evo Morales proposed a referendum on his leadership on Wednesday as a way out of a political crisis gripping Bolivia and challenged opposition governors to do the same.
Speaking on national television, Bolivia’s first indigenous president said he would send congress a proposal to put his leadership to a popular “rapid vote.”
Morales didn’t provide more details on the referendum or what questions voters would be asked. Bolivia has been paralyzed by violent street protests and strikes as the opposition accuses Morales of acting illegally and seeking to concentrate his power through a proposed constitutional overhaul.
