Bolivian interim leader meets UN envoy amid violence fears 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy the Associated PressSACABA, Bolivia — A UN envoy met with Bolivia’s interim president Saturday to find a way out of the country’s political crisis while the world body expressed concern the situation could “spin out of control” amid a rising death toll. Protesters said police fired Friday when demonstrators tried to cross a military checkpoint in Sacaba, a town near Cochabamba. On Friday, Áñez said Morales would face possible legal charges for election fraud if he returned home from Mexico City. The ousted leader, meanwhile, contended this week that he is still president since the country’s legislature has not yet approved his resignation.
