MEXICO GRANTS ASYLUM TO BOLIVIA'S EVO MORALES
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO l 12 NOVEMBER 2019 - ONWARDS

The Mexican foreign secretary says Mexico has granted the request for asylum from former Bolivian President Evo Morales.

Marcelo Ebrard says Morales asked for asylum in a phone call Monday afternoon and Mexico's Interior Department has granted it. While Ebrard has not said if Morales will be heading to Mexico, he strongly suggests that will happen, saying Bolivia has been notified off the grant of asylum so the former leader "may go safely."
