Clashes Erupt During Morales Protest March in Bolivia

Former Bolivian President Evo Morales led a march to the capital, La Paz, to protest against current President Luis Arce, accusing his administration of economic mismanagement and corruption. The march, which began peacefully with thousands of supporters, soon escalated into violence when counterprotesters attempted to block their route, resulting in 26 injuries, including police. Morales argues that the government has failed to address economic issues, while Arce has accused Morales of plotting a coup against him. The political feud between the two leaders is intensifying as they prepare for the upcoming 2025 elections, reflecting deep divisions within the ruling Movement for Socialism party. Protesters wielded Indigenous flags and expressed frustration over rising economic challenges, further complicating the already tense political landscape in Bolivia.
