"We take care of the family, the children do not respond for the crimes of the parents." Arturo Murillo, a strong man of the provisional government of Jeanine Áñez, told the country today that the children of Evo Morales have left Bolivia for Argentina, an exile "with all the assurances". Evaliz and Álvaro Morales flew to Buenos Aires on a plane from the Latam company "on the instructions of the president," confirmed the government minister, who posted the boarding passes of the former president's children on their social networks.

Previously, the leader of the indigenous revolution defined as "lies and defamation" the accusations of illicit enrichment made by the "de facto government" against his daughter Evaliz. "What else will they invent to try to defenestrate us!" Morales complained from his exile in Mexico. The Bolivian provisional government has shown its Mexican peer its concern and annoyance at the facilities provided to Evo to deploy its political platform from the North American country without any diplomatic shortfall.

"The most important reasons for this exile are to preserve their physical integrity and also consolidate the departure of the country from the Morales Ayma family," reveals historian and political analyst Lupe Cajías for EL MUNDO, who adds that Evaliz, closer to Evo , represents a "new mestizo youth, a student of the Catholic University, who has his political ideas but has a desire for prestige, studies and improvement," outside the coca and indigenous groups of his father.

As with Hugo Chávez's middle-aged daughter, María Gabriela, until a few months ago, Venezuela's deputy ambassador to the United Nations, Evaliz was considered a possible heiress of her father's political legacy.

"There are, however, some shadows around enrichment. There are Morales assets that have been in limbo between the State and private property, such as the foundation that bears his name that was sponsored by Iran and that at the same time owns a television channel. Matters that still need to be clarified, "adds Cajías.

Evo, accused of sedition and terrorism

The exile of both children happens only a few hours after their father was accused of sedition and terrorism by the Attorney General's Office. "We are asking for the maximum prison sentence," said Minister Murillo, one of the "hard" of the Áñez cabinet. The main piece of accusation against the former president is the video made public this week, in which Morales is heard issuing orders to maintain the iron blockade against La Paz, with the intention of leaving the capital without food.

The Prosecutor's Office has advanced that it will send the audiovisual document to Argentina to verify its veracity. The video was found on the mobile phone of Faustino Yucra's son, the interlocutor of the former president, who is wanted for drug trafficking.

"The video and the recording are very clear, he says that he kills the Bolivians by fencing the cities, not letting them in. This is the true face and the true face of Evo Morales," Minister Murillo accused.

From Mexico, the defendant also denounced the creation of an assembly against him , "with the intention of making me an international trial." Evo argues that it is a similar "judicial manipulation to imprison imperialist, leftist and progressive leaders. It is something they have already done" with Lula da Silva, Cristina Fernández Kirchner and Rafael Correa.

The Prosecutor's Office has also initiated proceedings against three mayors of the Socialism Movement (MAS), for directing blockages in the access routes to the capital and "undermining" the security of the State. It is the mayor of Achocalla, Mecapaca and Huahchilla.
