Bolivia Could Expel USAID
LA PAZ - The Bolivian government
warned it could expel the US Agency for
International Development (USAID) if that
body keeps interfering internal affairs, it
was reported Sunday.
Vice President Alvaro Garcia told the
Confederation of Bolivian Peasant Workers (CSUTCB),
the proofs collected could be enough reason
to expel that agency.
However, Garcia reiterated, he hopes the
entity changes its stance and stops trying
to enter social organizations.
"We hope for a change of stance, we are
patient, tolerant. We expect they can
understand the signals of our government,
which are respectful signals, though they do
not respect us," he said.
Yet, the Evo Morales administration will
take drastic measures if the situation is
maintained, Garcia stressed.
USAID must stop interfering our life, our
democracy, our ideology, the vice president
pointed out.
No only the opposition wants to harm the
president, but there are also foreign
interests to hinder the social development
and process of deep structural reforms
taking place in the country, he remarked. |
