Former Bolivian President Evo Morales’ car was fired upon by unidentified men while
travelling in the Chapare region, a traditional stronghold for Morales’ supporters. Morales, who shared
a video of the incident, has claimed that the attack was an assassination attempt orchestrated by the
government of President Luis Arce Catacora.
The government has in turn claimed that the assassination attempt was staged by Morales to gain
political traction before the next Bolivian presidential elections scheduled for August 2025.
