Morales criticizes Dina Boluarte

In January 2023, Peruvian authorities banned Evo Morales and eight other Bolivians from entering the country.

In November 2023, a Constitutional Court in Lima declared the habeas corpus presented in favor of Morales partially founded, which is why it ordered the immigration alert against him to be annulled, but now the appeal was declared inadmissible.
