Thousands of anti-government demonstrators marched in support of Bolivia’s former President Evo Morales on Tuesday, leading to clashes with counterprotesters in a stark sign of an escalating power struggle in the volatile Andean nation.
Morales mobilized a “March to Save Bolivia,” a 190-kilometer trek denouncing the government of his protege-turned-rival, current President Luis Arce. Despite resigning in 2019 amid mass protests, Morales retains significant support among poor and Indigenous Bolivians.
