"I asked for immediate dialogue... and the government's response was to arrest... comrades and take them to La Paz," he told the press, highlighting his frustration with the government's lack of response to his demands for dialogue.
"I am on a hunger strike until the government agrees to talks with me. These charges are politically motivated to impede my return to politics," Morales stated, emphasizing his belief that the legal actions against him are aimed at silencing his political comeback.
"The protests, including roadblocks, are a legitimate response from my supporters against the unjust charges and to demand the opportunity for dialogue with the government," Morales expressed, framing the civil unrest as a necessary measure to achieve political discussion.
