The former president of Bolivia Evo Morales (2006-2019) reported this Sunday that the vehicle that was taking him to the station where he usually hosts his weekend program was shot 14 times, by unknown parties, which injured the politician’s driver.
The former president declared to the coca radio station Kawsachun Coca that the pursuit of his vehicle by two others in which the attackers were traveling occurred at 6:25 in the morning local time (10:25 GMT) on the route between the town of Villa Tunari and Lauca Ñ, in the Tropics of Cochabamba.
In a video broadcast on social networks, blood can be seen on the head of the driver, who is holding the steering wheel.
The voice of a woman, who was traveling in the vehicle, can also be heard asking Morales to get down: “Go Papacho, fly away. They are here (…) Crouch, crouch press,” is heard in the recording. Evo Morales then calls on the phone asking for help: “They are shooting at us, mobilize quickly.”
