Overview

• Prosecutor General Roger Mariaca said the public ministry accepted the complaint and opened an inquiry into terrorism, incitement and threats to public services, offenses punishable by up to 20 years behind bars.
• The probe hinges on an audio clip attributed to Morales calling for supporters to blockade major roads leading to La Paz.
• Morales has rejected the recording’s authenticity, accusing the Arce government of fabricating cases to exclude him from the election.
• Since June 2, supporters have set up 28 blockade points on routes around Cochabamba and toward La Paz to demand President Arce’s resignation.
• Those blockades are justified by protesters’ warnings of a severe economic downturn and allegations of judicial and electoral manipulation to bar Morales from the August vote.
