Former President Evo Morales of Bolivia claimed he survived an assassination attempt on Sunday after unidentified men opened fire on his car. The incident took place in Bolivia’s coca leaf-growing region of Chapare, where Morales was being driven. He alleged that hooded men fired at least 14 shots at his car, resulting in his driver being wounded.
Morales, who led Bolivia from 2006-2019, accused his successor, President Luis Arce, of orchestrating the attack. He claimed that the government resorted to physical force due to their inability to defeat him politically. President Arce's administration has not yet responded to the allegations.
