Former Bolivian president Evo Morales has once again placed himself at the center of political controversy after publishing a lengthy social media statement claiming that an international operation is allegedly being prepared to capture—or even kill—him.
According to Morales, the United States ordered the Bolivian government to carry out a military operation against him with support from the DEA, U.S. Southern Command, and several units of Bolivia’s armed forces.
Morales claimed the alleged operation is taking place in the Cochabamba Tropics, a region that has served as his political and union stronghold for decades.
In his statement, Morales accused political figures tied to Bolivia’s past governments of helping orchestrate the supposed operation, including former minister Carlos Sánchez Berzaín, who served under former Bolivian president Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada.
He also accused Bolivia’s Vice Minister of Social Defense, Ernesto Justiniano, of allegedly coordinating actions from Washington.
Morales further claimed that Argentine political consultant Fernando Cerimedo was involved in a broader smear campaign against him and alleged that figures connected to Argentine President Javier Milei were also participating.
The former socialist leader even released names of Bolivian military commanders who he claims are currently deployed in the region as part of the alleged operation.
So far, however, Morales has provided no verifiable evidence to support these serious accusations.
His statement triggered immediate reactions across Bolivia.
Supporters claim he is the victim of political persecution, while critics argue this is yet another attempt to distract the public from the growing legal and political pressure surrounding him.
