Evo Morales to Be Arrested if He Reaches La Paz: Bolivian Interior Minister Warns - teleSUR English
- On May 15, 2025, thousands of Evo Morales supporters began a caravan headed toward La Paz amid police searches and detentions of caravan members.
- The caravan followed Morales, who cannot run for president due to Bolivia's constitutional limit of two consecutive terms and his estrangement from the MAS party.
- Morales is subject to an active arrest warrant issued in October 2024, accusing him of fathering a child with a minor during his presidency in 2016; although a judge in Santa Cruz later invalidated the warrant, that judge was subsequently detained on charges of misconduct.
- Bolivia’s Interior Minister Eduardo del Castillo announced that Morales faces arrest if he arrives in La Paz, accusing him of attempting to block the elections and incite unrest, while the caravan pressing toward the city overcame police roadblocks, chanting “The people united will never be defeated!”
- The events suggest heightened political tensions in Bolivia with Morales mobilizing supporters despite legal challenges, prompting calls for national unity from President Luis Arce to protect the Plurinational State.
