BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Argentine President-elect Alberto Fernández on Tuesday criticised the U.S. stance on Bolivia's political upheaval, which saw long-standing leftist leader Evo Morales resign under pressure and seek asylum in Mexico.

Fernandez, a centre-left Peronist, also aimed barbs at the Organization of American States (OAS), which had said in an audit of Bolivia's Oct. 20 election, won by Morales, that the result should be annulled due to "irregularities."
