Bolivia asks Argentina to prevent "calls to violence" by Morales 1:40
(CNN Spanish) - The Government of Bolivia, through its Foreign Ministry, communicated with its Argentine couple and asked to "repudiate" the recent statements of Evo Morales, who said he was willing to form "armed militias of the people" in the case of a hypothetical return to the power of his country.
Even the message sent to the Argentine authorities warns that they fear that the former president's behavior could induce Argentina to violate international agreements.
In the diplomatic letter, sent to the Argentine Foreign Ministry on Tuesday, 5 points stand out in which the interim government of Jeanine Añez puts focus on the activities carried out by the former Bolivian president in Argentina, a country in which he has already completed a month as an asylee .

The letter considers that Evo's statements "call violence against the people and their government", while warning that "it is protected" in the figure of asylum, which was provided by the government of Alberto Fernandez, to "incite violence, hate, discrimination, subversion and terrorism ”.
