Former Bolivian President Evo Morales said on Thursday that there’s an ongoing plot in coordination with Bolivia’s government to execute his illegal detention and subsequent extradition to the United States.
According to Morales, Defense Minister Ernesto Justiniano set June 13 as a peremptory deadline in cabinet meetings.
On that line, he said that high‑ranking civilian and military officials are structuring transfer routes from Viru Viru airport to Buenos Aires or Lima with final destination Washington, which would constitute a forced extradition of the first indigenous president of the Plurinational State.

Social movements and indigenous peasant organizations have backed the denunciation and provided technical details about intelligence operations in the Tropics region of Cochabamba. Popular spokespersons reported that the Delta Ñ plan is coordinated directly by Colonel Edson Rojas and Major Ayala with political support from U.S. agencies.
Worker and peasant leadership affirmed that the true objective of these persecution and kidnapping maneuvers is to dismantle community resistance and facilitate plundering of Bolivia’s natural resources, specifically pointing to the control of lithium by hegemonic powers.
