In an exclusive interview with teleSUR Monday, Bolivian President Evo Morales spoke of neoliberalism and imperialism’s long history across the Americas. Morales denounced the ongoing attacks against Venezuela in light of the international forum currently underway in Caracas and organized by teleSUR and the Venezuelan Ombudsman Office addressing human rights abuses that take place under neoliberal regimes.

The economic war and political destabilization plan against Venezuela is rooted in the last 15 years of opposition attempts to unconstitutionally take over state power. Morales applauded the Venezuelan people for “defeating political conspiracies with maturity.”

In addition, Morales spoke to the case of Bolivia and the country’s efforts to establish a popular democracy. Morales explained that previously the Andean nation’s natural resources were under the thumb of transnational corporations.

“After 20 years we recuperated our democracy and sovereignty as well as our economic and political liberation,” emphasized Morales. “Now, the politics do not come from outside (of Bolivia), from the United States...The United States does not dictate here, the indigenous do,” he said.

Morales added in light of the upcoming summit for the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), “Now is the time for Latin America and the Caribbean.”

1. Thank you President Evo Morales.

You are awesome.

Keep fighting the good fight.

Viva the Bolivarian Revolution.

The late great Hugo Chavez would be proud of you.

3. He certainly would be so proud, for certain. Amazing accomplishments, against powerful odds.

I loved the images I've seen of them in meetings over the years. It was easy to see they had natural, and deep respect and belief in each other.

5. Judi,

Thank you so very much for the beautiful photos.

It is so very tragic that we lost President Chavez at such an early age.

History will be very kind to him.

If I could have met and talked to anyone in the world it would have been the late great Hugo Chavez.

2. Tell it like it is, Mr. President!

Maybe some of the thickheads in the US will take notice.
