Last Sunday, August 28, the phone of the former president of Bolivia and current leader of the ruling party, Evo Morales, was stolen during a public event. This theft reveals the dissensions that exist within the Movement towards Socialism, the party in power, and leaves room for all the rumours.

In Bolivia, a mobile phone theft makes headlines. Not just any cell phone, however, since it is the one ofEvo Morales. It was via Twitter that the ex-president denounced the facts publicly, barely hiding his suspicion of the current Minister of the Interior: “ the theft of my phone took place during an event attended by the Minister and his security team. We don’t want to believe in an organized attack he wrote. After the events, journalists present said that a large-scale police operation had been deployed in the area. Which did not fail to make people talk. Julio César Cossio, the department’s police chief, himself had to speak up to deny it.

Divisions at the heart of power

The Bolivian police have reportedly moved their investigative staff for this case, but in reality so far there have been no complaints filed. And the teams that were there were there for something else and arrested a fugitive criminal, accused of robbery.

And Internet users have had a field day imagining what could be found in Evo Morales’ laptop. Of the contacts of drug traffickers? Being himself a coca producer. Pictures of young girls? The ex-president having already been pinned for his relations with very young women. But this theft above all reveals the divisions at the heart of power. The Movement to Socialism, the main party in Bolivia, this rock that has ruled the country since 2006, is cracking.
