Colombia Military Bases Threaten South
America
LA PAZ - Bolivian President Evo Morales stated today
the installation of US military bases in
Colombia is an open aggression on South
America and especially against countries
starting to dignify their peoples and
governments.
"I am sure where those facilities exist
there is no guarantee of social peace,
democracy, development and even less their
integration," declared the leader during a
press conference at Palacio Quemado.
Morales expressed confidence in the
Colombian people who from his point of view
will be in charge of defeating the current
assault to the subcontinent.
He denounced US bases threaten presidents,
revolutionary social movements and
governments in the region of the Bolivarian
Alliance for the Peoples of Our America
(ALBA) and not to fight drug trafficking, as
warranted.
"United States favors drug trafficking in
Colombia to justify its presence" said the
statesman.
He stressed the shared responsibility and
regionalization in confronting this scourge
does not mean deployment of US military
bases in South America.
He expressed his rejection to the agreement
signed between Washington and Bogotá on
October 30 which authorizes the use of seven
stations of the countryâ�Ös armed forces by
the northern powerâ�Ös soldiers.
According to the Bolivian President the
United States seeks world hegemony;
therefore, they want to crush with military
bases the revolutionary countries struggling
for their liberation, independence and
development. |
