Escalating Violence in Bolivia and Georgia

A sharp surge of violence and political conflict has erupted in both Bolivia and Georgia. In Bolivia, former president Evo Morales became the target of an assassination attempt when his vehicle was shot at, injuring only the driver. Morales, who is currently hiding from authorities, faces accusations of sexual crimes and undermining the constitutional order. In Georgia, following the parliamentary elections, the ruling party 'Georgian Dream' secured 54% of the votes, but the opposition alleges electoral fraud and is calling for mass protests. These events highlight the growing tensions in both countries, where governmental actions and protest sentiments cast doubt on the stability and future of the political landscape. External observers have noted mixed results in Georgia’s elections, emphasizing the presence of both challengers and violations. All of this sets a precedent for further confrontations between supporters of different political factions.
