Arce, Morales lead mass pro-democracy rally in Bolivia

Bolivian President Luis Arce headed a mass pro-democracy rally Thursday that government-allied indigenous, peasant and worker groups had organized in response to alleged destabilization efforts.

Arce and Vice President David Choquehuanca began walking with a group that set off from a location in La Paz and later joined up with another march that had descended from the nearby city of El Alto and was led by ex-President Evo Morales, chairman of the ruling leftist MAS party.
