Evo Morales Quotes

I don't debate with liars.
I don't mind being a permanent nightmare for the United States.
Vaca Diez, do not destroy our country!
All of Africa's resources should be declared resources of the state and managed by the nation. Our experience in Bolivia shows that when you take control of natural resources for the people of the town and village, major world change is possible.
As an indigenous leader from Bolivia, I know what exclusion looks like. Before 1952, my people were not allowed to even enter the main squares of Bolivia's cities, and there were almost no indigenous politicians in government until the late 1990s.
Bolivia is a majority indigenous nation, but that majority has always been excluded.
Bolivia's majority Indian population was always excluded, politically oppressed and culturally alienated. Our national wealth, our raw materials, was plundered. Indios were once treated like animals here. In the 1930s and 40s, they were sprayed with DDT to kill the vermin on their skin and in their hair whenever they came into the city.
Capitalism has only hurt Latin America.
Capitalism is the worst friend of humanity.
Dialogue is the basis of Indian culture, and we don't want to make any enemies. Political and ideological adversaries, perhaps, but not enemies.

Globalization and the neoliberal economic model have already been rejected in Latin America; it simply hasn't been a solution for our people. At the same time, Latin countries like Venezuela and Argentina are anti-imperialist and anti-globalization, and yet their economies are growing again.
Globalization creates economic policies where the transnationals lord over us, and the result is misery and unemployment.
Historically, foreign powers have always been the ones to keep Latin nations divided.
I am not accustomed to protocol.
I have a lot of hope for the Constituent Assembly.
I have a lot of trouble understanding all the detail of finance and administration - but if you combine intellectual and professional capacity with a social conscience, you can change things: countries, structures, economic models, colonial states.
I never wore a tie voluntarily, even though I was forced to wear one for photos when I was young and for official events at school. I used to wrap my tie in a newspaper, and whenever the teacher checked I would quickly put it on again. I'm not used to it. Most Bolivians don't wear ties.
I want to stress that at no time Bolivia acts untimely or irresponsibly.
I'm just the democratic voice of Bolivia.
