Evo Morales Slams Andrónico Rodríguez's Presidential Bid: 'No Popular Support'

Evo Morales Criticizes Andrónico Rodríguez's Presidential Candidacy in Bolivia Bolivia's political landscape is heating up as the 2025 presidential elections approach. Former president Evo Morales recently launched a scathing attack on Andrónico Rodríguez, a prominent figure within the Movement for Socialism (MAS) party, who is also a presidential candidate. In a video released by Unitel Bolivia, Morales openly questioned Rodríguez's popular support and accused him of avoiding crucial meetings. "He doesn't have the support of the people," stated Morales, referring to Rodríguez's candidacy. Morales further alleged that Rodríguez evaded planned discussions in the Cochabamba region, suggesting a lack of commitment to the party's grassroots base. The video shows Morales speaking at a large gathering, his words carrying weight given his history and influence within Bolivian politics. The accusations highlight the internal divisions within the MAS, a party that has historically dominated Bolivian politics. This internal conflict could significantly impact the upcoming elections, potentially weakening the MAS's chances of retaining power. The video's release adds fuel to the already tense political climate, and observers will be watching closely to see how Rodríguez responds to Morales's accusations.
