Evo Morales announces candidacy for the presidency of Bolivia
September 25 |
The former president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, announced Sunday his intention to run again for the presidency of the country for the elections of 2025.
“We have decided to accept the requests of our militancy and of so many sisters and brothers who attend rallies throughout the country to be a candidate for the presidency of our beloved Bolivia,” Morales (2006-2019) wrote in a message posted on the social network X (formerly Twitter).
“I’m going to give everything I can. We still have strength. We are going to face with truth, dignity and honesty all that aggression that we suffer in social networks from the Ministry of the Presidency,” said the former president, who has maintained a distance with the government of President Luis Arce.
He denounced that the current authorities of the country have launched a plan that would have the purpose of disqualifying him for the 2025 elections.
“I am very grateful to our sisters and brothers who are warning us from the Ministry of Government about their intentions to arrest us and hand us over to the US”, he expressed.
He added: “We are going to give battle. We are heirs of the struggles of our ancestors who have taught us to never give up. We will never give up, sisters and brothers! United we will save our beloved Bolivia once again!
In this regard, the Minister of Defense, Edmundo Novillo, assured in recent days that there is no “black plan” against former President Morales.
“In a previous meeting, former president Morales already made reference to this alleged plan, and we informed him that all the necessary investigations were made and we are certain that there is no such black plan”, said the official to journalists.

Bolsonaro diagnosed with skin cancer amid coup conviction
Former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro has been diagnosed with skin cancer while serving a historic sentence for attempting a coup d’état. His medical team confirmed that the lesions have been removed and that, for now, he does not require further procedures, though he will need regular monitoring.
On Wednesday, September 17, Bolsonaro’s doctors confirmed the diagnosis. The announcement comes shortly after the former leader was convicted of orchestrating an attempted coup.
According to his physician, Claudio Birolini, Bolsonaro has “squamous cell carcinoma, which is neither the most benign nor the most aggressive form — it is intermediate.” Birolini warned, however, that this type of skin cancer “can carry more serious consequences.”

Milei praises Paraguay’s growth, calls Argentina’s last 20 years a ‘decline’
Argentine President Javier Milei praised Paraguay’s economic growth over the past two decades during a speech before the Paraguayan Congress on Wednesday (Sept. 17, 2025), crediting it to incentives that favored capitalism. At the same time, he contrasted that progress with what he described as Argentina’s deepening “decline” during the same period.
“If we compare the last 20 years of Paraguay with those of the Argentine Republic, we will find almost diametrically opposite results,” Milei told lawmakers during a special session of Parliament on the second and final day of his official visit to Asunción.
“While you have not stopped growing, we have deepened our decline. If we understand incentives as the engine of capitalism, Paraguay focused on preserving and strengthening them, while Argentina dedicated itself to chaining, directing, and suffocating them,” the right-wing leader stated.

Trump administration launches large-scale immigration operation in Chicago
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump intensified a large-scale immigration operation in the Chicago area with the arrival of additional Border Patrol agents on Tuesday and the presence of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem during a raid.
Noem posted a video on her X account showing the immigration operation, in which DHS reportedly removed “violent criminals” from the streets. The footage shows Noem observing the arrest of a man taken into custody at his home early Tuesday morning at an undisclosed location.
“I was in Chicago today to make it clear that we will not back down,” the secretary wrote. “Our work is just beginning,” she added.
The warning from Noem was echoed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Chief Gregory Bovino, who posted a video on X Tuesday showing multiple Border Patrol vehicles arriving in the city with the caption: “Chicago, we are here!”
Bovino, who led the immigration crackdown in Los Angeles implemented since last June, said the team will remain in Chicago to continue the mission they started in California.
Operation “Midway Blitz” is currently focused on the Chicago metropolitan area and its suburbs. Activists and residents have reported sightings of masked agents and unmarked vehicles in predominantly Latino neighborhoods.
