Bolivia Ends Neocolonial Past
La Paz - Bolivian President Evo Morales promulgates today the
new Bolivia Constitution, approved by 61.4 percent during the
January 25 referendum.
According to the leader, the Magna Carta marks the beginning of the
transition from a neocolonial State to one that is plurinational
with equal rights for all citizens.
He stressed it also represents a historic document, the first
decision consulted with the peoples, after 16 Supreme Decrees and
two modifications.
The historic signing ceremony will take place in El Alto city, in
presence of a massive number of people.
Nearly a million people including farmer leaders, workers and
natives will witness the official signing ceremony.
Statistics revealed Friday a total of 2,064,417 citizens in support
of Bolivia’s new Constitution, while 1,296,175 were opposed.
