"The process of change in Bolivia runs the risk of being brutally interrupted. The ascension to power of an aboriginal president and his social programs and recovery of natural resources from the first moment faced oligarchical conspiracies and imperialist interference. In most recent days, the conspiring escalation reached its maximum degree. The subversive and unconstitutional actions with the oligarchical groups that intend to divide the Bolivian nation reflect the fascist and elitist mentality of these sectors... Ahead of this situation, we want to express our endorsement to President Evo Morales. At the same time, we reject the autonomy referendum of Santa Cruz for its unconstitutional character and making an attempt against the unity of a nation and of our America. "
The serious Bolivian situation, that places in danger the proper progressive wave in Latin America, demands the active solidarity of all the democratic and popular sectors of the continent and the world. It is urgent to denounce the separatist and coup-minded train of the oligarchy, supported by the USA, in the bases of workers, the parliament and the progressive media. It is necessary to pressure the OAS and the government of Lula so that they adopt a more active position on this risk of retrogression in the region.
