The former president rejected such a relationship with the political organization, linked to a recent fraud by paying non-existent officials of the Santa Cruz Mayor’s Office, and called for an investigation.

“No one is going to defend and we never defend corruption,” Morales stressed at a press conference, responding to rumors regarding an alleged document between his organization and the SPT.

The MAS leader explained that during his administration as president (2006-2019), he coordinated with different sectors and opposition authorities to execute the “Bolivia Cambia, Evo Cumple” program, but without reaching political agreements.”
