Supporters of former Bolivian President Evo Morales flooded La Paz on Friday, in protest of the interim government.

Whipala flags and slogans took over the streets as protesters marched through the city.

Several demonstrators were seen kneeling down and crying in front of soldiers, who were watching the protest.

One of the soldiers grabbed a Wiphala flag and said "it's our flag as well."

Millelde Herrerk, a pro-Morales supporter deplored that Bolivians news did not report on the "11 dead," and accused Bolivian interim President Jeanine Anez of "taking the military to repress us."

"She should not do it, because everyone has the right to have a different opinion," she added.

The march came two days after senator Jeanine Anez declared herself an interim president at a Parliament session after former leader Evo Morales fled to Mexico. The extraordinary session was boycotted by Morales' socialist party (MAS).

The departure of Morales and Anez' recognition by Senate as the new president increased tensions between supporters and opponents of the former leader.
