[Regnum] Former Bolivian President Evo Morales, whose supporters have been blocking roads throughout the republic for 19 days, has declared a hunger strike and called on the current authorities to engage in dialogue. He wrote about this on November 1 on social media. The former head of state noted that the people who support him do not want bloodshed.
He also called on international institutions and friendly countries to mediate in the dialogue between the authorities and the protesters. The former president also addressed his supporters, asking them to consider a pause in blocking the roads. As reported by Regnum News Agency, on November 1 it became known that protesters supporting Morales seized a military unit in Villa Tunari in the Bolivian department of Cochabamba and took servicemen hostage. The current President of Bolivia, Luis Arce, specified that the supporters of the ex-president stormed three military facilities at once, and the Armed Forces stated that the participants in the seizure seized weapons. The demonstrators in Bolivia are protesting against rising food prices and fuel shortages. On October 27, Morales posted a video on social media showing the moment when armed men opened fire on his car. The former president claims that the attempt to detain him was on orders from the Bolivian government.
