SUCRE: Bolivia’s socialist ex-president Evo Morales released a photo that showed how the ousted leader allegedly spent the night on the floor.
In the photo, he was seen lying on the floor under a blanket at an undisclosed location before fleeing to Mexico for asylum.
“This was my first night after leaving the presidency forced by a coup by [opposition leaders Carlos] Mesa and [Luis Fernando] Camacho with the help of the police,” Morales tweeted in Spanish, along with a photo of himself in a makeshift bed on the floor.
“I remembered my times as leader,” he continued. “I’m grateful to my brothers from the of Cochabamba tropic’s federations for providing us with security and care.”
Morales stepped down Sunday following weeks of violent protests sparked by allegations of election fraud in the Oct. 20 election he claimed to have won.
