On day 11 of the blockade, Evo says that the Government decided to intervene with 1,000 police officers

After holding a evaluation meeting of the 11 days of blockade in Cochabamba Former President Evo Morales sent two messages through his X account; In one of them he warns that there is a police operation ready to intervene in the blockade in Cochabamba, where a thousand police officers would participate.

“We denounce the Bolivian people and the international community that more than 1,000 police officers are being transferred by air and land to the city of Cochabamba. These police officers have the order to violently intervene in the legitimate social protest in the face of the economic crisis,” wrote Morales in his account, who has already stopped mentioning that the main condition for lifting the blockade is the annulment of the judicial processes against him.

They have even had doctors and ambulances aware that people’s lives could be put at risk,” says the other message published by the former president.

Since the conflict began Morales took shelter on his property in Villa Tunari and only went out to the town of Sacaba on October 12 to attend the expanded MAS meeting where the start of the road blockade was defined from the 14th of this month.

This Thursday, deputy Gualberto Arispe (MAS-ala evista), admitted that the only alternative the movement will have is to march towards La Paz to depose President Luis Arce.
