Evo Morales denied Jhonny Fernández: UCS asked him to be a vice presidential candidate

The pedophile Evo Morales revealed that he received a proposal from Unidad Cívica Solidaridad to join the Fuerza del Pueblo alliance. According to the coca grower, the contact was made through a phone call. In that conversation, UCS offered him the vice-presidential candidacy.

However, Morales rejected the offer because the proposed conditions were not met. He clarified that the "evismo" demands that he be the presidential candidate.

Morales's statement contradicts UCS leader Jhonny Fernández. Fernández asserted that there was no formal proposal for Morales. He said that in politics there are dialogues, but no commitments.

However, Morales insisted that there was a concrete offer. "UCS called me and made me a proposal," the coca grower reiterated.

During his program on Radio Kawsachun Coca, Morales detailed the conditions of his movement. The first was that he be the presidential candidate of the alliance. The second, that candidates for legislators linked to Creemos be withdrawn.

Morales stated that he would not campaign with those he called "coup plotters". He also said that his decision responds to the mandate of his grassroots supporters.

According to Morales, UCS's response was a counteroffer. They proposed to give him the vice presidency, but to keep the ticket with Fernández as the presidential candidate.

That option was immediately rejected by the MAS leader. "The people want Evo as president", he stated during his speech. For that reason, the agreement was not finalized.

Fernández denied the coca grower's version

Jhonny Fernández  confirmed the contacts with Morales, but with reservations. He admitted that there were phone calls and political conversations.

However, he denied that formal conditions were proposed. He asserted that his presidential candidacy is confirmed. He promised to announce his running mate soon.

The UCS leader emphasized that the Fuerza del Pueblo alliance is still under construction. He indicated that dialogue with social organizations continues.

He also said that the lists of senators and deputies are not yet closed. In Cochabamba, for example, many names are still missing. Fernández pointed out that consensus remains a priority.

From a legal perspective, Morales could not be a presidential candidate. The deadline to replace presidential candidates expired on July 3. Jhonny Fernández did not withdraw his candidacy before that date.

Therefore, Evo can't be incorporated as the head of the ticket. That situation limits any possible agreement.

The vice presidency is a position that can still be modified. The law allows changes up to 72 hours before the elections. This possibility exists because UCS lost its original candidate for that position.

However, Morales would also have legal impediments to assume that role. That is another reason why the alliance did not prosper.

Morales tried to condition the agreement

The coca grower leader questioned the presence of former Creemos members on UCS's lists. He said that he will not accept candidates linked to the right. "We will not campaign with coup plotters", Morales insisted.

This stance closed any margin for negotiation. He reiterated that his political line will not be negotiated.

Fernández said that Morales's figure is not in the current political scenario. He asserted that agreements are being signed with social organizations. "I am the one sealing the national alliances", he emphasized.

Regarding the vice presidency, he only said that it will be a surprise. He promised a "political earthquake" when the name is revealed.

Morales's revelation exposed the political ties that the mayor of Santa Cruz tried to establish. His version shows that UCS's leadership is still trying to consolidate its presence at the national level. It also shows that "evismo" continues to seek spaces to compete.

Although legally limited, Morales is trying to position himself as a presidential figure. He keeps his confrontational discourse with the right.

Meanwhile, MAS is going through an internal candidacy crisis. The renewal wing and "evismo" have not reached consensus. Morales's figure remains central for part of the grassroots supporters.

However, his legal situation conditions his direct participation. For now, the alliance with UCS is ruled out.
