Senator Andrónico Rodríguez of the Bolivian Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) party announced in a television interview that former president Evo Morales would return to Bolivia on November 9, just after Luis Arce and David Choquehuanca of the MAS are sworn in as president and vice president. 

Rodríguez said that two days later, on November 11, Morales will go to the Tropic of Cochabamba, where he would stay. Rodríguez recalled that last year, on November 11, the president was forced to leave his country after the civil-military coup carried out against him.

Rodríguez also confirmed that a massive mobilization would be held to welcome “the historic leader” on the “historic day” in Cochabamba. Likewise, he said that he hopes that on the 9th, the whole country will hold a massive gathering to celebrate Morales’ return.

President Morales had said many times, while the electoral campaign in Bolivia was undergoing, that he would return to his country should his party, the MAS, won the October 18 general elections.

After the landslide victory for the Arce-Choquehuanca presidential ticket, only the law was in Morales way. This was resolved when a judge annulled the lawsuit filed and the arrest warrant issued against him for the alleged crimes of sedition and terrorism.

On Tuesday, the Supreme Electoral Court (TSE) of Bolivia presented accreditations to the newly elected members of the Plurinational Legislative Assembly: 130 deputies, 36 senators, and six supra-state assembly members.

Newly elected president Luis Arce and vice-president-elect David Choquehuanca receives their corresponding accreditations on Wednesday and will assume office on November 8.

Arce has already announced some measures to reverse the pandemic's economic and social crisis, such as food vouchers for the poor and introducing a new wealth & property tax.

He also assured that he would deal with the human rights violations committed by the coup regime, and added that he will open investigations into the massacres in Sacaba and Senkata.

President Arce also announced plans to restore relations with Cuba, Venezuela and Iran, severed under the coup regime due to Bolivia’s foreign policy's realignment to the United States.
