Evo Morales issues ultimatum to Bolivian government over economic decrees
Former President Evo Morales has issued an ultimatum to the administration of Rodrigo Paz, demanding the repeal of economic decrees by October 3. If these demands are not met, Morales and his supporters plan to launch national mobilizations and marches toward La Paz starting October 13. Key demands include the annulment of Supreme Decree 5716, which removed diesel subsidies, and Supreme Decree 5727, which pertains to the restructuring or liquidation of state-owned enterprises.
In a related development, Morales has filed a legal challenge in Beni to block arrest warrants issued against him. One warrant stems from a human trafficking investigation involving an alleged relationship with a minor during his presidency, while a second is linked to investigations into road blockades conducted earlier this year.
Dieter Mendoza, a leader of the Six Federations of the Cochabamba Tropics, has escalated the rhetoric, warning of potential armed insurgency across Bolivia if any attempts are made against Morales’ life.
