Rebecca he decided to set aside because he didnt have any other choice after 3 weeks the opposition was where in the straits protesting against him and ask him to resign and today especially was a very difficult day for evermore alice especially when the chief of the army suggests him to to resign so that was very important situation because i mean he didnt have any more the support of the police anymore and then he dont have the support of the army didnt have the support of the bolivian workers a sense right which has been a sector that has been very very important for him to us supporting for a very long time so today they said if ever murat is. Step aside and it can give the stupid libya we agree that this is the way for the power so i think i think that that was a very different way because i couldnt have any choice now that this city that passes so is that huge Party Everyone we want to get through is in the streets martin celebrating this moment on that while you were you here are fireworks up to the protestors riot so everyone celebrating what does this mean for bolivia.

Well its to spain now where Election Results show the Ruling Socialist Party of acting Prime MinisterPedro Sanchez gaining most states but the ballot doesnt give sanchez the majority you need to form a stable government and end the political deadlock the conservative Peoples Party got the 2nd largest share of the voters with the right wing vox party coming in 3rd more than doubling it seats since the last election and i probably. Data blue correspondent lisa lewis is at the headquarters of Spains Socialist Party in madrid later the Ruling Socialist Party looks set to win the most say again for short of a majority whats the mood there. Well absolutely the mood here is rather gloomy this socialist party was hoping to increase its share of seats in the parliament looks like theyre likely that they will lose a few of their seats and it will get even more complicated complicated for them to form a government now Pedro Sanchez planned the interim Prime Ministers plan was apparently to form a minority government and his argument was if he if he increased his share then other parties would have to support him now if he loses a few of the seats hes got less arguments to say you know you really need to give me your support but he will now have to talk to a lot of different parties beforehand there are 2 or 3 national i was in parliament that had quite a large share of the vote and if he had found an agreement with them it would have been fine now he needs to bring in about 6 or 7 different parties and that would be incredibly difficult because none of these parties will give their support for free really so you will have to negotiate with them and the far right vox party was expected to do well and looks like they have more than doubled their seats why whys that. Yeah absolutely well it looks like the sentence on the catalan separatists about 4 weeks ago was really in their favor these savages were sentenced to 2 years long prison sentences and then after wards there were riots in the region clashes between independence supporters and the police and that has really played into the hand of books because what has been saying we need to clamp down on them rick need to crash that revolt and we need to suspend regions autonomy status and other parties have actually followed suit and say yeah we need to really be tough with them however the socialist party has had a somehow more conciliatory approach theyve been saying you know yes we need to be tough but at the same time we need to be talking to them because in their interest its actually in their interest to be a bit softer to the cattle at the catalans because they normally gain quite a high share of the vote in that region catalonia decides on 48 of the 350 seats in parliament and the socialists were determined to get a share of that so they didnt have as tough a stance as books or other parties and thats what had actually them lose support in the rest of the country and thats why also one of the big reasons why their share of the vote has gone down so it really looks as though spain is heading for more political paralysis. Absolutely its very difficult to see how to get out of this political deadlock you know spanish parties really need to start learning how to form a coalition thats something thats very normal in other countries such as germany but its very difficult to see how this can work with such a fragment of parliament here in spain at the p. P. P. The center right party and the socialist center left party in the past were able to form a coalition on their own you know they had 50 percent of the vote more up more than 50 percent almost 50 percent and they just needed to bring in a few. Seats a few other party see the smaller parties now they really need to form a growing grant police next to make this work and they really too will need to learn that craft so very much a wait and see situation with situation lisa lewis at the headquarters of Spain Socialist Party in madrid thanks very much.
