Evo Morales has arrived, Tuesday, November 12, in Mexico, where he was granted asylum following his resignation as Bolivian president. Foreign Minister Marcelo Erbrad had posted a picture of Morales onboard a Mexican air force plane, displaying a Mexican flag across his lap, as it departed La Paz Monday night. "Your life and integrity are safe," Erbrad tweeted. Morales requested asylum in Mexico hours after he abruptly resigned from office Sunday in the wake of mass protests over last month's disputed presidential election, which ended with him being declared the winner after partial results had predicted he would face a December runoff against former President Carlos Mesa, his main rival. https://www.voanews.com/americas/evo-morales-arrives-mexico-us-applauds-his-resignation-bolivian-president
