Morales' Bombshell: García Linera Accused of Secretly Backing Rival in Bolivian Elections

Bolivia Presidential Elections: Morales Accuses García Linera of Backing Rodríguez's Candidacy La Paz, Bolivia – Former Bolivian President Evo Morales has launched a scathing attack on his former vice-president, Álvaro García Linera, accusing him of secretly supporting the candidacy of Andrónico Rodríguez in the upcoming presidential elections. The statement, captured in a recent video, has ignited a firestorm of political debate in Bolivia. "Ya no le sirve Evo, ahora están usando a Andrónico," Morales stated, directly translating to, "Evo is no longer useful; now they are using Andrónico." This bold assertion points to a deep rift within the Movement for Socialism (MAS) party and raises questions about the unity of the leftist political bloc. Morales further elaborated on his claims, suggesting that García Linera’s alleged support for Rodríguez is a strategic move to maintain influence within the party. He contrasted Rodríguez’s perceived professionalism with his own, implying a lack of experience or suitability for the presidential office on the part of Rodríguez. The video, which has already garnered significant views and shares, has prompted a wave of reactions from political analysts and party members. The accusations underscore the complexities and internal struggles within the MAS party as it navigates the upcoming elections.
