Assassination attempt on ex-Bolivian leader Morales: “The government tried to kill me”

The car in which former Bolivian President Evo Morales was traveling was attacked with guns. Morales, whose driver was injured as a result of the attack, said, “There are 14 bullet holes in the car I came in.” The former leader, who claimed that the Bolivian government tried to kill him, claimed that he would present evidence that the government was involved in the assassination attempt against him.

An assassination attempt was made on former Bolivian President Evo Morales. The former president was attacked by gunmen as he set out in his car for an interview. Morales’ car was sprayed with bullets and the driver of the car was injured. Morales accused the government of trying to kill him and said the situation threatened to spark a political crisis in the country.

“THERE ARE 14 BULLET HOLES IN MY CAR” Making a statement after the incident, Morales said, “There are 14 bullet holes in the car I arrived in.” Morales claimed that two vehicles stopped him on the road and opened fire on his car, with one bullet missing his head. “The elite agents of the Bolivian State tried to end my life today,” Morales said in a post on social media.

“THE GOVERNMENT TRIED TO KILL ME” Morales’ spokesman said the former president would hold a press conference and “present evidence that the government was involved in the assassination attempt against Evo Morales.” Bolivia’s Deputy Security Minister Roberto Rios told reporters that the police had not launched any operations against Morales.

MORALES’ RESIGNATION PROCESS Morales, who served three terms as president, resigned in 2019 after a disputed election plunged the country into turmoil. Former economy minister Luis Arce was elected president the following year. Bolivia is grappling with declining natural gas production, depleting foreign exchange reserves and rising inflation ahead of next year’s elections, increasing pressure on the ruling party and leading to an increasingly complex political climate.
