Evo Morales Remains Out of Public View as Aide Cites Dengue and Withholds Location

He remains the target of an unresolved trafficking investigation that has kept him in the Cochabamba tropics.

Overview

  • Morales missed his weekly Kawsachun Coca radio program for a second consecutive Sunday and has stayed silent on his usual social media accounts.
  • Aide Leonardo Loza says Morales is recovering from dengue and is safe, though no independent medical documentation has been released.
  • His team refuses to reveal his whereabouts for security reasons, while dismissing online rumors about his leaving the country.
  • Reporting indicates he has remained in the Trópico de Cochabamba since October 2024 as supporters shield him and an apprehension order goes unexecuted.
