Evo Morales tells AP he'll press on with a hunger strike until his rival accepts dialogue.

It's a bid to defuse the protests that have paralyzed the Andean nation over what Morales ' supporters decry as his political persecution.

Tensions have surged over the past three weeks since pro-Morales supporters erected crippling roadblocks aimed at rebuking Luis Arce .

Protesters have also sought to challenge his government’s attempt to revive a 2016 statutory rape case against Morales .

Evo Morales , who held power from 2006-2019 , has seized upon growing discontent with his chosen successor.

Morales and his supporters have decried the case as a political witch hunt aimed at blocking his candidacy in the 2025 election.

Many in the country have soured on Arce over the collapse of Bolivia ’s once-growing economy built on cheap dollars and fuel.
