Former Bolivian President Evo Morales survived an assassination attempt when his vehicle was fired upon en route to an interview. Morales’s driver was injured in the attack, which left 14 bullet holes in the vehicle. Morales blamed the incident on Bolivian security forces, describing it as a “joint operation” by police and military elites and accusing the government of targeting him. He urged President Luis Arce to remove key officials if they were responsible. President Arce condemned the attack and announced an investigation. Morales served as Bolivia’s president from 2006 to 2019, resigning amid protests over election fraud allegations.
