“After years of struggle and resistance, we won the presidency with the vote of the people, without having titles or financial support, only with truth and honesty.

We faced and defeated trials, attacks and conspiracies…that is our history, the former president wrote on his Twitter.

In this way Morales referred for the second consecutive day to the decision of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to reject a case against him for alleged crimes against humanity, a decision that he described the day before as a victory of truth over falsehood.

He emphasized that politics means acting with love for the people and the homeland, dreaming of great transformations for future generations and working for the poorest, “without harming the most enterprising”.

The first indigenous ex-president of Bolivia added that “we can make mistakes, but we will never betray. That is our truth”.

A 69-page conclusive investigation by the ICC published Monday established there is no cause-and-effect relationship between the August 2020 road blockades and the Covid-19 deaths in the Andean-Amazonian country.
