Bolivia's prosecutor's office issued a new arrest warrant on Wednesday for former president Evo Morales. The detention order is linked to an investigation into his alleged role in anti-government protests and road blockades that paralyzed parts of the country in May and June. teraz.sk ↗
Morales faces charges of terrorism, armed uprising, and other criminal offenses. According to available information, the investigation concerns protests during which his supporters blocked major roads. The former president is currently in his political stronghold in the Chapare region, a rural and impoverished area in central Bolivia. Le Monde ↗
The new arrest warrant comes amid ongoing tension between Morales and the current government. The former president had already faced another detention order after failing to appear at a hearing in a case involving alleged abuse of a minor. However, the prosecutor's office's current decision is related to the protests and blockades, not to that separate case. Le Figaro ↗
Further developments will depend on whether authorities manage to detain Morales and whether the prosecutor's office presents concrete evidence of his direct involvement in organizing the protests. The case could further deepen political tensions in Bolivia, where Morales remains a prominent and polarizing figure. El Pais ↗
