Morales Calls for Bolivian Unity
Sucre - Bolivian
President Evo Morales summoned Bolivians to
defend and maintain unity in the country and
consolidate the democratic revolution being
led by him together with the people.
We have to confront the enemy, whether
inside or outside of the country, Morales
said at the official ceremony to mark the
200th anniversary of the Revolution on May
25, 1809, considered the first declaration
of independence in America.
He urged Bolivians to defend the country,
the way Tomas Katari, Tupac Katari and Juana
Azurduy did in their time.
The Bolivian leader stressed that a nation
that leaves behind its past struggles and
history has no conscience of its destiny.
The official ceremony took place in the
municipality of El Villar, 22 miles from
Sucre, with thousands of farmers and
representatives of social organizations and
top political and military authorities
attending.
A march of indigenous and farm communities
also took place to mark the day.
