* Morales flies to Mexico to accept asylum offer* Morales quit on Sunday after pressure over disputed election Anez, 52, assumed leadership before other lawmakers in Congress, invoking a constitutional clause that dictates that she would be next in line to rule after Morales and his vice president, Alvaro Garcia, resigned on Sunday.
A senator with Morales’ party called for protests starting on Tuesday until he returns to finish his mandate in January. The United States on Tuesday ordered family members of U.S. government employees to leave Bolivia due to the unrest, and warned American citizens against traveling there, the U.S. State Department said.
“As long as I am alive, we will remain in politics. As long as I am alive, the fight continues,” Morales told reporters after disembarking from the plane in Mexico City, dressed in a blue short-sleeved shirt. He was met by Ebrard. More than 30 election officials have been arrested following Morales’ resignation, according to the office of Bolivia’s attorney general.
