President Luis Arce stated that Evo Morales has generated support from the popular bloc for the Christian Democratic Party (PDC), with the intention of having an “easy target” in Rodrigo Paz and thereby wearing him down in pursuit of impunity and positioning himself again as a future candidate.

“I believe he (Evo Morales) has planned this and has mobilized votes from his own militants and even managed to get some of ours to support him as well. In the end, the popular sector backed this PDC candidacy. And it is the candidacy that Evo Morales is calculating to be the weakest, so that he can start doing the same thing he did with our government — attacking to wear down the government, attacking to generate social and economic chaos, just as he did to us,” Arce told EFE.

In the president’s view, Morales has with Paz the same strategy as with the outgoing government: to wear him down in order to secure impunity and be enabled to run again as a candidate.

“Evo Morales has planned to have an easy target, a weak target, so he can wear him down from the very first moment and begin once again his race to become a candidate — first by wiping clean all accusations against him, achieving impunity for all the crimes he has committed; second, by getting himself cleared to run and going into the elections,” he emphasized.

Morales stated on Monday that votes from the “evista” faction had given victory to the PDC and, in that sense, said it is not a “blank check,” but that from now on it must govern “in consultation with the people.”

Evo faces a human-trafficking charge, to proceed to trial for allegedly having had a relationship with a minor and fathering a baby while serving as president.
