The Former Bolivian President Leaves Mexico for Cuba

Velasco wrote on Twitter: “Friday morning, Mr. Morales traveled to Cuba. We have been informed that his flight is of a temporary nature.”

Those close to Morales confirmed to "Novosti" that the former president went to Cuba to obtain medical advice.

Morales was forced to announce his resignation and leave his country last month, after weeks of protests against the controversial presidential election results, which resulted in his victory.
