 You've mentioned Evo Morales a couple of times, former president of Bolivia. He's not in Bolivia. He's in exile, but he still has enormous influence in the country, apparently. Where is he exactly and why does he retain such important stature in Bolivia? Former President Evo Morales was president for 14 years. He was ousted in what he called a coup in 2019 and fled to Argentina. But he is largely responsible for President Arce becoming president after naming him as his chosen successor.
