Morales: Time to Free Latin America

Havana, Apr 30, 2006. (Prensa Latina) Bolivian President Evo Morales has urged Latin American peoples and governments to defend unity above sector or regional interests while saying it is time to set the region free.

Before over 25,000 people at Havana´s Revolution Square, Morales slammed administrations such the US and oligarchies that sack Latin American nations and are far from integration goals.

He hailed his country´s adhesion to the implementation of the Bolivarian Alternative for Latin American and the Caribbean, on the occasion of the first anniversary of that deal´s signing between his Cuban and Venezuelan counterparts Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez, respectevely.

The statesman asserted that such agreements, including the Peoples Trade Agreements, benefited Bolivian and American indigenous peoples, historically marginalized, looked down, humiliated and politically and culturally excluded.

The Andean dignitary stated that once in office he aims at changing the horrible exploitation and plundering history of natural resources.
