The Member States of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-Peoples’ Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) are closely following the situation in the Plurinational State of Bolivia and express their deepest concern over the denunciation made by former President Evo Morales regarding an assassination attempt against him.

ALBA-TCP repudiates all acts of violence and supports the thorough investigation ordered by President Luis Arce to clarify the situation.

Likewise, ALBA-TCP once again urges the parties in Bolivia to meet and join their strengths and capabilities for the benefit of Bolivians, through sincere dialogue, which contributes to the prosperity and tranquility of the nation, and prevents the escalation of a conflict most likely induced by third parties who are the enemies of peace and sovereignty of our peoples.

The member countries of the Bolivarian Alliance call once again for the necessary reunion, to avoid any measure that may harm the population, and offer Bolivia all the will and capabilities of ALBA-TCP to facilitate the path of peace and understanding.
