Evo for Regaining Sovereignty
President-elect of Bolivia Evo Morales announced Thursday he will put a process into motion to regain sovereignty and dismantle neoliberalism, as well as re-establish the Ministry of Planning.

In a news conference about the government transition process, he also highlighted the work done by 129 working groups and the participation, for the first time, of representatives of popular organizations.

He revealed that several bodies refused to give information to MAS (Movement towards Socialism) experts working in the transition, particularly regarding intelligence and security matters, because, he denounced, the State has no sovereignty, it has been divided and handed over to foreign powers.

Juan Ramon Quintana, responsible for the political aspect of the transition, said that security bodies suffered dismantling and account for their performance to foreign agencies, rather than to the State.

After referring to US interference, the president-elect said the situation confirms the need, as he stated during his election campaign, to re-nationalize the State, its institutions and natural resources in order to exercise sovereignty.

In this regard, Morales said that after assuming the presidency he will start a process to regain sovereignty and dignity of the Bolivian State.
