The main opposition candidate in the election, former president Carlos Mesa, said Bolivians "have taught the world a lesson. Morales later tweeted that there was a warrant for his arrest, but police commander Vladimir Yuri Calderon told local Unitel television that was not the case. Morales, a member of the Aymara indigenous community, is a former coca farmer who became Bolivia's first indigenous president in 2006. Hooded demonstrators overran Venezuela's embassy in La Paz on Sunday, the country's ambassador, Crisbeylee Gonzalez, told state news agency ABI. Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez described Morales as "a protagonist and a symbol of the rights of the indigenous peoples of our Americas."
