As the crisis unfolds, Morales has reiterated his commitment to sincere and constructive dialogue. However, his actions and statements have created divisions between his supporters and the current governmen

Former President Evo Morales has intensified his political pressure strategy by announcing a hunger strike in pursuit of a national dialogue to address the current tensions between the Bolivian government and mobilized social organizations.

In a public statement, the ex-president emphasized that dialogue is the only viable path to resolve political differences and prevent bloodshed. “We reiterate that dialogue is the only way,” Morales asserted, urging his supporters to consider a pause in the road blockades affecting several regions of the country.

Not only did the former leader declare a hunger strike, but he also demanded the withdrawal of military and police forces from conflict areas.
