Ex-Bolivian President Evo Morales has asked his supporters to remove roadblocks but declared a hunger strike until the government agrees to negotiate, APA reports citing TASS.
"I’ve decided to ask the protesting comrades to consider the possibility of a pause in blocking the roads to prevent any bloodshed or economic problems," he said at a press conference aired by Radio Kawsachun Coca on its Facebook page (prohibited in Russia due to its ownership by Meta, which has been designated as extremist).
Morales added that he decided to go on a hunger strike "until the government begins dialogue on two subjects - the economy and politics."
