Esther Morales, was the older sister of the deposed Bolivian president whose house was burned during the coup d’etat that ousted Evo Morales, who thought of her as a mother. She died this Sunday at 70 years of age, victim of Covid-19.
Earlier, Morales regretted not being able to be with his sister due to the cruelty of the de facto government of Bolivia.
“Why so much hatred, racism and political persecution that prevents me from seeing my only sister for the last time. For me, Esther, was like my mother. History will judge them,” he wrote.
