Evo Morales condemns attempt to avert MAS win in Bolivia

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.
