SpainThe former president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, has been ordered detained by the country's prosecutors for alleged crimes including terrorism and incitement to commit violence during the anti-government protests that paralyzed the Andean nation for over 50 days in May and June 2026. Morales, who served from 2006 to 2019, already faced another arrest warrant for failing to appear in court regarding a case of alleged abuse against a minor under 15 years old during his presidency. The new order was issued by prosecutor Brayan Melgar, accusing Morales of allegedly inciting armed uprisings that caused shortages of food and medicine in cities like La Paz and El Alto. Morales denied the accusations on social media, blaming the current government of conducting a political persecution to hide Bolivia's economic and social crisis. President Rodrigo Paz, who took office in November 2025 after nearly two decades of leftist governments led by Morales and Luis Arce, blamed Morales for promoting the protests, which resulted in over 15 deaths due to lack of medical care and supplies.

It reports both the prosecution's allegations and Morales' denials, providing context about the political climate and the impact of the protests without clear ideological傾
