LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) Bolivia’s former interim president said Friday that authorities are seeking her arrest as they move against officials who backed the ouster of former leader Evo Morales, which his party now back in power considers a coup.
“The political persecution has begun,” Jeanine Añez, who headed a conservative administration that took power after Morales resigned in November 2019, said on her Twitter account. “There is a complaint they are going to use to persecute me.”
The Prosecutor’s Office did not confirm that an arrest warrant had been issued for Añez – as her former justice minister had tweeted – but police officers were seen guarding her home in the city of Trinidad, northeast of La Paz, Friday night, apparently without trying to arrest her. The former president was not at home.
