Bolivian Protests Fuel Funding Debate Amid Morales' Candidacy Push

Protests in Bolivia raise concerns about funding and political motivations. La Paz, Bolivia – Recent mobilizations in support of former President Evo Morales have sparked controversy, with social organizations questioning the source of their funding. Ivan Martinez, a university leader from Potosi, stated, "We question where the financing for these mobilizations comes from. How are they being transported? How are they being financed and sponsored?" Meanwhile, Janeth Murillo, president of the Alba Urban Women's Organization, expressed the public's weariness with the protests, saying, "People are tired. Where is all this money coming from? There's only money for food, not for people to be in the streets." These concerns highlight the political tensions in Bolivia and the ongoing debate surrounding Morales' potential return to power. The relatively low attendance at recent marches suggests waning public support for these actions.
