Bolivia minister calls Evo Morales 'union tyrant', urges ignoring ultimatum

Bolivia's Labor Minister Bascopé publicly dismissed an ultimatum from former president Evo Morales, labeling him a 'union tyrant' and accusing him of inciting confrontation and blockades. This marks a sharp escalation in the ruling party's rhetoric against Morales, signaling a definitive break and potential political instability. The move suggests the government is bracing for a showdown with Morales' supporters, which could disrupt governance and fuel protests.
