The former president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, revealed in a meeting abroad that he is traveling in two "borrowed" vehicles from Venezuela for security reasons. He thanked Venezuela for its solidarity over time, regardless of the political orientation of different governments. Morales expressed his wish that the vehicles, which were shot at in a recent incident, remain in Bolivia and be displayed in a museum.
Amid this situation, the deputy from the opposition force Comunidad Ciudadana, Jairo Guiteras, expressed concern that Morales is using a vehicle belonging to the Venezuelan people. He raised the need to investigate the funding and support that Morales may be receiving from the state-owned Petróleos de Venezuela SA (Pdvsa) and the Venezuelan state.
Guiteras emphasized that Morales should not be receiving this type of support, as it goes against Bolivian legislation. According to the Law of Political Organizations, the use of state resources in political activities constitutes a serious infringement that can lead to sanctions, including the suspension of mandates and party membership for a specified period.
In light of these accusations, Morales and the current president, Luis Arce, must clarify the conditions of this alleged Venezuelan support. The political force Comunidad Ciudadana expressed its intention to report this situation to electoral authorities to ensure respect for the law in Bolivia. Former president Carlos Mesa supported this complaint and also requested an explanation regarding Pdvsa's involvement in Bolivian political matters.
