MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Monday condemned an apparent assassination attempt on former Bolivian President Evo Morales a day earlier, which took place amid a growing dispute within the Andean country's socialist ruling party.

"We condemn this, and offer all of our solidarity," said the leftist Sheinbaum, after she was asked about Sunday's incident in which the vehicle transporting Bolivia's former leftist leader was shot at, injuring the driver.

Sheinbaum, who stressed the need to avoid violence, took office earlier this month.

For weeks, a split between Bolivian President Luis Arce and Morlaes has grown within the ruling socialist party.
