Bolivian President:
Revocative Referendum to
"Knock Down" Opposition
Bolivian President Evo
Morales said Sunday the
nationwide revocative
referendum on Aug. 10
will "knock down" the
opposite neo-liberal
governors that oppose to
the country's reforms.
The revocative
referendum is called by
Morales in response to
the votes for autonomy
in four provinces of
Santa Curz, Tarija,
Pando and Beni this
year.
In the revocative
ballot, Bolivian people
will vote on whether
Morales, Vice President
Ivaro Garcia Linera and
eight regional governors
will hold their posts.
"Some governors are not
playing in favor of the
country and Bolivian
people, but for their
own interests," Morales
said. "They think they
could be presidential
candidates."
"I've never imagined
that politics could be
so dirty. There are
groups of people that do
not want to abandon
their privileges and
plan something against
Evo day by day," he
added. |
