Evo Morales Alleges Assassination Attempt in Bolivia

Former Bolivian President Evo Morales alleged an assassination attempt after gunmen reportedly shot at his vehicle, narrowly missing him, during a drive in Bolivia. Morales accused President Luis Arce's government of orchestrating the attack, claiming it was part of a campaign to push him out of politics while the government denied involvement and suggested the possibility of a self-orchestrated attack by Morales. Interior Minister Eduardo del Castillo stated that Morales' convoy fired on anti-narcotics police, a claim Morales denied. President Arce condemned the violence and called for an investigation as tensions between Morales and Arce have escalated amid political and economic turmoil in Bolivia. Video footage shared by Morales shows bullet holes in his car, adding to the ongoing power struggle within the Movement for Socialism party.
