The former president of Bolivia, Evo Morales lost his mobile phone on Sunday night during a campaign event and has suggested that it could be something planned.
“We have nothing to hide, but we will denounce any attempt to use fraud or misrepresentation against us,” Morales said in a tweet on Monday afternoon announcing the theft of the device.
Local media had reported on a police operation to find the device that Morales lost when he supported a candidate from his party, the ruling Movement Towards Socialism (MAS), in the department of Santa Cruz.
“We would not want to think that it is part of a planned attack to harm us,” he said.
According to the newspaper The reasonthe personal secretary of the former president informed the Police and the national commander of the Police, General Orlando Ponce, ordered the search.
Morales governed Bolivia from 2002 to 2019, the year in which he was trying to win his fourth consecutive term, but protests over electoral irregularities led him to lay down and go into exile in Argentina.
With the arrival to the presidency of his co-religionist, Luis Arce, Morales returned to Bolivia, where he has returned to his political activity.
