The Argentine News Agency said, Saturday, that former Bolivian President Evo Morales left Argentina on a plane bound for Venezuela.

The news agency said that Morales, who has lived in Argentina since his resignation amid protests in November of last year, left on an official Venezuelan government plane on Friday afternoon for Caracas, after his Socialist Party won the elections.

There was no immediate comment from the Argentine Foreign Ministry and Morales’ representatives did not respond to requests for comment.

Bolivia’s new president, Luis Arce, said during his press conference accompanied by Vice President David Chukiwanca that Bolivia “has returned to democracy,” adding, “We will work for all Bolivians and we will form a government of national unity.” Acting President of the country Janine Anez welcomed his victory, saying on Twitter: ” We do not yet have an official census, but according to the data we have, RC Shukiwanka won the elections. ”

Janine Anez was appointed as interim head of the administration of the country and the bodies continued to work, at a time when Bolivia was facing the outbreak of the new Corona virus, which has killed eight thousand people.

Bolivia is one of the poorest countries in South America, despite its enormous natural resources, especially gas, lithium, iron and copper. The country has the largest proportion of Native Americans on the continent.

The nationalization of hydrocarbons in 2006 increased the gross domestic product from 9.5 to 40.8 billion dollars and reduced the poverty rate from 60 to 37%, according to official data.
