Bolivia’s iconic ex-President Morales calls for anti-government march as political fight escalates
Morales, who is currently in exile, called for a march on the capital La Paz to protest the government of President Jeanine Anez
Morales, who resigned in November 2019 amid allegations of electoral fraud, has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and has accused the government of persecuting his supporters
In a video message posted on social media, Morales said that "the people are tired of so much injustice, so much persecution, so much abuse of power." He called on his supporters to join him in a march on La Paz on October 10th.
The government has condemned Morales' call for a march, saying that it is an attempt to destabilize the country. Minister of Government Arturo Murillo said that the government will take all necessary measures to maintain order.
The political situation in Bolivia has been tense since Morales' resignation. The government has launched a crackdown on Morales' supporters, and dozens of people have been arrested.
In recent weeks, there have been several protests against the government. The protests have been largely peaceful, but there have been some reports of violence.
The march called for by Morales is likely to further escalate the political crisis in Bolivia. It is unclear whether the march will be peaceful or whether it will lead to violence.
The international community is watching the situation in Bolivia closely. The United States has called on the government to respect the rule of law and to allow peaceful protests.
