Morales explicó que decidió renunciar con el fin de que quien fue candidato de la alianza Comunidad Ciudadana, Carlos Mesa, y el jefe opositor del Comité Cívico de Santa Cruz, Luis Fernando Camacho, “no sigan persiguiendo a mis hermanos, dirigentes sindicales”, para que “no sigan quemando las casas” de funcionarios públicos y para que dejen de “secuestrar y maltratar” a los familiares de los líderes indígenas.
