The former president of Bolivia Evo Morales, reported a serious incident on Sunday, claiming that his vehicle was shot at in what he described as an assassination attempt.
The alarming event has raised concerns about safety and political stability in the country.
Morales took to social media to share a video showcasing two bullet holes in the windshield of the car where he was seated in the front passenger seat. The footage has garnered significant attention and highlights the potential danger he faced during this incident.
According to a statement from Morales’s political party, the Movement for Socialism (MAS), the attack occurred as armed men dressed in black opened fire on the vehicle while it passed near a military camp. The situation has sparked outrage and calls for accountability among Morales’s supporters.
In response to the attack, Morales’s party has urged the government of President Luis Arce to take responsibility for ensuring the safety of its citizens, especially political figures. The party emphasized the need for a thorough investigation into the shooting to determine the motives behind this violent act.
President Arce condemned the violence in politics and pledged that an investigation would be conducted to uncover the facts surrounding the shooting. He acknowledged the heightened tensions in the political landscape and stressed the importance of maintaining peace and order in the nation.
The incident has reignited discussions about the security challenges faced by political leaders in Bolivia, especially in the wake of recent political upheaval. Morales, who served as president from 2006 to 2019, has been a controversial figure since his departure from office, and this attack raises concerns about the ongoing polarization within the country.
Supporters of Morales are demanding greater protection for political figures and a stronger stance against violence in the political arena.
