Hundreds of Bolivians gathered at the border with Argentina to welcome Bolivian leader Evo Morales, who had returned to his country from Argentina, where he had taken refuge after his resignation in 2019.
According to the Bolivian newspaper Página Siete, Morales will cross from Argentina to the southern border town of Velazón before heading 600 miles north to Chabari province.
Seeking the return of Morales was the first thing that President-elect Luis Arce did. One day after the elections, he announced that “Morales will return to the country on the 9th of November.”
Eight days after the landslide victory of his “Movement towards Socialism” party in the presidential elections, the Bolivian court canceled the arrest warrant issued against the former president, thus paving the way for his return.
Morales, who was exiled last November in what his supporters described as a US-backed coup, plans to arrive in the town of Cimore on Tuesday, exactly a year after he fled the same location on a Mexican Air Force plane.
