Morales blamed the current government for the outburst of violence, saying it was part of a coordinated campaign by Bolivian authorities to sideline him.
Former President Evo Morales of Bolivia claimed he survived an assassination attempt on Sunday after unidentified men opened fire on his car. He was not injured in the alleged attack that quickly became the latest flashpoint in a power struggle between the ex-leader and his successor, current President Luis Arce. Morales, 65, blamed President Arce's government for the outburst of violence, saying it was part of a coordinated campaign by the Bolivian authorities to sideline him from politics.
' “Morales is seeking confrontation and violence on the roads for political interests and to achieve impunity,” Rios told reporters. Officials in Arce’s government did not respond to requests from the Associated Press to elaborate on the contested claims. As cellphone footage spread online showing Morales’ driver bleeding from the back of his head, his supporters called for mass rallies to show their anger.
