Bolivia issues arrest warrant for Evo Morales
The Public Prosecutor's Office in Bolivia has issued an arrest warrant for former President Evo Morales, charging him with inciting the recent protests that took place in the country in May and June, which led to severe shortages of fuel, food, and medical supplies. The investigation follows a complaint by a right-wing group accusing him of armed rebellion and terrorism. These protests began broadly with workers and indigenous communities opposing the economic crisis, eventually escalating to demands for the resignation of current President Róberto Paz, who blames Morales for the unrest. Morales, who is currently defending himself against allegations of child trafficking, is in self-imposed exile in his stronghold in Chapare. Meanwhile, Bolivia's president plans to carry out a security operation to regain control of the protesting areas.
