1:06Now PlayingBolivia's ousted president Evo Morales said in Mexico City on Wednesday "we won and they are stealing it from us," referring to the election.
"I also think, surely, the great problem and why we have this type of problem is that I am indigenous," said Morales claiming his army commanders were "disloyal."
Morales resigned on Sunday following the weeks of violent protests fed by allegations of electoral fraud in the October 20 election, which he claimed to have won.
Morales had accepted an Organization of American States audit reporting widespread irregularities in the vote count and calling for a new election.
But he stepped aside completely when General Williams Kaliman, the armed forces commander, "suggested" he leave — a move Morales and his backers branded a coup d'etat and his critics called a popular uprising.
Bolivia's first indigenous president arrived in Mexico on Tuesday under a grant of asylum and vowed to remain active in politics.
Jeanine Añez, who had been second-vice president of the Senate, claimed the presidency after higher ranking successors to the had post resigned.
