BOLIVIA: Shots fired at Morales as tensions reach boiling point
Bolivia’s former president Evo Morales (2006-2019) came within a whisker of being shot on 27 October as bullets tore through his car and wounded his driver. With Morales accusing President Luis Arce’s government of attempting to assassinate him, the country is being convulsed by increasingly violent protests. The government, however, has put forward a decidedly different version of events. Interior Minister Eduardo Del Castillo said that Morales’ vehicle was shot at after it refused to stop at a police checkpoint, and he has accused the former president of opening fire on police officers.
