In the last hours, the former president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, was formally accused of alleged terrorism crimes that he would have incurred in organizing a blockade to aggravate the shortage of fuel and food in the city of La Paz.
The proof of this is a video that was released by the Government Minister, Arturo Murillo, and that he presented on November 20.
In the video you can see a peasant referent -identified as Faustino Yucra Yarwui- talking on the phone with who appears to be Morales.
At one point, the former coca grower leader orders him to divide "the union into four or five groups" to extend the siege: "If you concentrate, you get tired and people leave; but if they are groups that take turns, we are going to put up with the blockade "
"Brother, do not let food enter the cities, we are going to block r. I really fence. When I was expelled from Congress in 2002, they blocked. Now I am expelled from Bolivia and there is a blockade. We are going to win. (...) Yes the Assembly rejects my resignation, I will try to return, even if they stop me , "adds the interlocutor.
A computer expertise carried out by the Technical Investigation Corps of the Colombian Public Ministry, which concluded that there is "a high probability of identifying the voice" of Morales , the bulletin highlights.
According to the newspaper El Deber, the recording was found on a cell phone hijacked during a police operation on a route near Tiquipaya, in the department of Cochabamba, Morales' most influential area.
"It is not possible for Evo to continue confronting Bolivians with Bolivians and order that they do not enter food. It is a crime against humanity, " said Murillo at that time when the audio was already running through social networks.
