The former president of Bolivia Evo Morales announced this Sunday his candidacy for the 2025 presidential elections and denounced the government of Luis Arce for "the attacks" against him and his party, the Movement towards Socialism (MAS), amid the division within the ruling force.

 

"Compelled by the government's attacks, its plan to ban the MAS-IPSP and defenestrate us with political processes, including physically eliminating us, we have decided to accept the requests of our militancy and of so many sisters and brothers who attend rallies throughout the country to to be a candidate for the presidency of our beloved Bolivia," Morales said on the social network

 

The former president (2006-19) stated that he is going to "give everything he can" and that he will face "with truth, dignity and honesty" what he described as "aggression" by the Ministry of the Presidency on social networks.

 

"We still have strength," he said.

 

"I want the Bolivian people to know; the plan they have, if they are not going to be able to stop the Ordinary Congress of Lauca Ñ (a town in the department of Cochabamba) and disqualify us, they are going to use a woman to attack us, just as the right did" Morales said.
