TEHRAN, Nov 27_Former Bolivian president Evo Morales, who has been in exile in Mexico since his forced resignation, says the United States opposes his return to Bolivia.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club(YJC)_Morales, who had already been president since 2006, won his country’s presidential election in October, but the Bolivian military and opposition claimed that the election had been rigged and they incited street protests.
The Bolivian president, who enjoyed considerable support, nevertheless decided to resign, with an apparent intention not to push the country toward instability. He was then granted asylum and was warmly welcomed in Mexico, where he currently resides.
At least 33 people have been killed since the election.
There has been on-and-off talk of Morales returning to his home country — and potentially reclaim his presidency — ever since.
But, in an exclusive interview with a Miami-based American Spanish-language television network on Tuesday, Morales said the US was against his return, and that while he had a right to go back, he wouldn’t seek the presidency if he did.
