Former Bolivian President Evo Morales acknowledged in an interview published on Friday (7.01.2020) in the digital version of the German newspaper “Zeit” that “it was a mistake to reappear” to the election.
It was a mistake, Morales adds according to the German version of the interview, “to assume the proposal of the people” and accept it “on the basis of the Constitutional Court’s ruling.” “But the people had decided, and I accepted their proposal for a fourth candidacy under the Constitution,” The former staff of Bolivia is justified.
“I should have rejected the proposal. But we won the election in the first round,” Morales said.
The former president, in exile in Argentina, defends the count despite the controversy over the stopover in the count and the jump that the results then made, placing him in first position when until then the opposition candidate, Carlos table.
“There was no fraud. The Organization of American States (OAS) set Bolivia on fire with its election report,” Morales, which hopes that his party will prevail in the next elections, scheduled for May 3, although it warns that on this occasion there may be “fraud electoral elections.”
He also advanced that he planned to return to Bolivia before those elections, for the campaign, despite the risks.
In the text, he further explained that he resigned “to avoid the death penalty.” “The violence that followed, fascism and racism, I didn’t expect,” he concluded.
