Evo Morales: nationalization of resources 'made Bolivia free'
LA PAZ, Feb. 13 (MNA) – Bolivian President Evo Morales has assured the nation the process of nationalization of hydrocarbon resources was a great liberation which ‘allowed more investment in social works and other infrastructure.’
After the inauguration of a school in this capital, Morales recalled that “capitalist transnationals subsisted on oil in the subsoil belonged to Bolivians, but when it came to the surface it was theirs.”
“With the arrival of our government to power we put an end to the robbery of Bolivian resources, and foreigners are no longer the owners of our natural resources, because nationalization made us free and we do not even depend on international organizations,” he highlighted.
“The little money we had, industrialists exported it abroad and many important sectors were privatized. Today, the revenue from oil is higher than it in those times and right now we begin investing $57mn in a new projects of oil extraction,” said the President.
