Capitalism is destroying Mother Earth, and to destroy Mother Earth is to destroy humanity.
Evo Morales
With Bolivia, I had hope that a discriminated African-American, with another discriminated indigenous peasant leader, I hoped that together we could work for justice and equality. Not only for just two countries, Bolivia and USA, but for equality around the world.
Evo Morales
Unfortunately, in this Obama Government, we have charges of drug trafficking and terrorism. For Evo, it's drug trafficking. For Hugo, it's terrorism. Evo Morales, drug trafficking. Hugo Chavez, terrorism.
Evo Morales
I have a lot of hope for the Constituent Assembly.
