Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Evo Morales Blames Bolivian President Luis Arce for Apparent Assassination Attempt

HeadlineOct 28, 2024

Former Bolivian President Evo Morales blamed sitting President Luis Arce after his vehicle came under fire in what Morales said was an attempted assassination Sunday. This comes amid mounting tensions between Arce and Morales; both men belong to the ruling MAS party and have announced plans to represent the party in Bolivia’s 2025 presidential election. Arce has accused Morales of “destabilizing” the country by calling for road blockades and protests. Morales has said he is being persecuted by Arce’s government, including what he claims are false accusations of statutory rape.
