Evo Morales
condemns attempt to avert MAS win in Bolivia
PARIS, September 28.—Evo Morales, leader of the
Bolivian Movement Toward Socialism (MAS), today
exposed in Paris how the Constitutional Court (TC)
of his country is trying to postpone the December
elections with the involvement of foreign elements
which he identified as the White House, DPA reports.
In a press conference at the French National
Assembly, the indigenous leader exposed attempts to
put off the elections at a point when the MAS is the
favorite candidate, in response to the demands of
foreign agents who are utilizing the national
oligarchies from Santa Cruz.
During the press conference Morales attacked the
neoliberal model and once again defended the
nationalization of the country’s natural resources.
"It is not the social groups, it is not the
indigenous movement that are challenging the country
or destabilizing it. It is the state institutions,
the Constitutional Court and behind them are the
transnationals, the U.S. embassy, which wants to
avert any triumph of the indigenous movement," he
stressed.
