“I had no doubt that he would return, but I didn’t know it would be so soon,” Evo Morales said before crossing the border.
He was succeeded by Argentine President Alberto Fernández. Now Evo Morales will travel more than 100 km through the country for three days in a caravan of vehicles and will pass through several towns where his support continues to be great.
In November 2019, Evo Morales was forced to resign and flee the country after several weeks of violent protests. Morales was accused of electoral fraud in the October presidential elections and was criticized for running for the fourth time in violation of the constitution.
Former senator Jeanine Añez formed a transitional government and threatened Evo Morales with charges of terrorism and incitement if he returned to Bolivia.
The planned election was postponed several times due to the crown pandemic, but in October Evo Morale’s party colleague Luis Arce won. On Sunday, Arce, from the Mas Socialist Party, was sworn in as president and thus the field was free for Morales to return.
Evo Morales was the first indigenous president of Bolivia. He ran the country for almost 14 years.
