Former Bolivian leader Morales clashes with police supporters to secure his campaign

La Paz, Bolivia - Hundreds of supporters of former President Evo Morales marched into Bolivia’s top election court on Friday to push them to run for a candidate for leftist leaders in the presidential election later this year, an episode that would drop into street clashes as police attempted to clear a group of protesters.

The confrontation was in response to the ruling of Bolivia's Constitutional Court, which blocked Morales, the country's first indigenous president to rule from 2006 to ousted in 2019, and was re-sumed in the August 17 election. As Bolivia suffers its worst economic crisis in four decades, turmoil has escalated political tensions.

When the march arrived in La Paz, the capital of Bolivia, protesters trying to register for the candidate for Morales emerged to the highest electoral court, chanting, "Comrades, what do we want? Evo is back!"

Security forces blocked the road to the courts and blocked them from retreating. Police reported that clashes between rock-throwing protesters and tear gas police forces injured two officers, a journalist and a local businessman.

"They are using firecrackers and rocks, which are hurting our troops," said police commander Juan Russo. "This is not a peaceful parade."

Authorities did not report any harm among the protesters, who were believed to have been pushed to the ground, pushed into a police car and blew up with tear gas.

The court's unanimous ruling on Wednesday upheld an earlier ruling that prohibited the president from serving more than two terms. Morales has served three people and resigned in 2019, resigned under pressure from the military and exiled his protests, and he bid for an unprecedented fourth term.

Morales returned to Bolivia a year later as the 2020 election arched his preferred candidate, President Luis Arce, starting with his long-term movement towards the Socialist Party.

Arce announced earlier this week that he would not seek reelection, insisting that the Constitutional Court was disqualified from competing for his mentors in 2025, and his mentors were transformed into rivals.

However, many experts doubt the legitimacy of the decision in a country where political conflicts undermine the courts and the president has manipulated to sit their allies on the bench.

"The Constitutional Court made arbitrary decisions on the whim of those in power," Morales said. Morales said he himself won the favorable judge during his fourth consecutive term in 2017.

After Morales lost a referendum in an attempt to lift term limits while still in power, the Constitutional Court ruled that it would be objectionable to block Morales' human rights from stopping him from continuing another term.

Supreme Election Tribunal President Oscar Hassentoufel said the 2017 ruling allowed Morales to register his candidacy. "Then the court will decide whether he is eligible."

Morales violated the latest court ruling, saying Mass March declared his loyal supporters in rural tropical areas. They have long embraced the people who transformed the country during their tenure by indigenous delicious students - redistributed Bolivia's natural gas wealth and sought a larger inclusion in Indigenous people.

Morales was afraid of arresting a stronghold for arresting allegations of human trafficking that he claimed was politically motivated, and Morales did not participate in the march.

The government confirmed Friday's fear. "We ask Mr Morales to surrender voluntarily," said Senior Minister Eduardo del Castillo. "If we find him walking in the street, we will arrest him."

Instead, dozens of his supporters walked on the streets of the capital on Friday wearing a Morales-faced mask.

"Evo Morales are each of us. If they want to detain Evo Morales, they need to take each of us," said David Ochoa, the representative of the marcher.
