Interviewed by Television Española television station, the foreign minister stated that at the beginning "we were told that the data were clear, that the former CIA agent was in Morales' plane".
He said that the measure taken by European countries regarding the flight of the Bolivian president was a response to the information they received, without referring to the origin, saying that Snowden was inside the plane. (Prensa Latina)
