A Bolivian judge has issued a new arrest warrant for former President Evo Morales after he failed to appear for his trial on charges of trafficking a minor. Morales is accused of fathering a child with a 15-year-old girl while in office, with her parents allegedly consenting in exchange for favors. His supporters have vowed to resist any attempts to apprehend him, warning of potential unrest if he is arrested. Morales has been in hiding since late 2024, and his absence has led to him being declared a fugitive.
