Bolivia's interim President Jeanine Anez on Thursday accused former leader Evo Morales and his supporters of fomenting violence to try to force a return to power.
Socialist Morales, who currently lives in exile in Argentina, fired back, accusing the government of training its military to suppress social movements.
Conservative Anez assumed the presidency in November after Morales fled the country following three weeks of protests over his controversial re-election to an unconstitutional fourth term.
But she is under pressure to ratify a bill to set a new date for elections postponed over the coronavirus pandemic, which Congress passed despite her party abstaining.
"Evo and his coca growers are trying to return to power," said Anez, adding that Morales's Movement for Socialism party (MAS) is putting forward "the path of division and violence between Bolivians like they did during 14 years" of his rule.

Why can't fascist, stupid, greedy right-wingers who have stolen Presidencies just stay in their offices and do the work real Presidents have to do? Jesus H. Christ!
She's got a guilty conscience because she knows she shouldn't be pretending to be a leader of a country.
