US EditionMorales vows no surrender in bid to reclaim Bolivian presidency
- On April 30, 2025, a judge in Bolivia revoked the detention order targeting former president Evo Morales in the city of Cochabamba.
- The warrant, issued in October 2024 over allegations of fathering a child with a minor, was dropped because a prior investigation cleared Morales.

- Morales’s lawyer Jorge Perez stated that a court decision now allows Morales to move freely across the country, while Morales denounced the case against him as a political maneuver orchestrated by rival President Luis Arce.
- The annulment highlights Bolivia’s deep political divisions amid an economic crisis and may influence the upcoming election and the Movement Toward Socialism party’s split.
