The Facts
The incident occurred amidst rising political tensions between Morales and his former ally, current President Luis Arce, with Morales supporters blocking highways in central Bolivia for two weeks.
The Bolivian government had previously accused Morales of destabilizing the country through these road blockades, which have disrupted food and fuel supplies nationwide.

Morales is deliberately causing unrest to advance his own political ambitions and undermine the current administration. His claims of an assassination attempt are likely exaggerated or fabricated to gain sympathy and distract from the ongoing investigation into his alleged relationships with minors.
