Evo Morales Says US Social Network Experts Plotted in Bolivia



La Paz, Apr 7 (Prensa Latina) Bolivian President Evo Morales said today that the US government sent social network experts to Bolivia to conspire against the constitutional referendum held in February.

Bolivians voted on February 21 to approve or reject a constitutional amendment in order to allow President Evo Morales and Vice President Alvaro Garcia Linera to run for another term in office in 2019.

During a ceremony to deliver a social facility in Santa Cruz, Morales said that Washington sent a group of specialists of South American origin to plot against the referendum through the social networks. We found out that they arrived in the country by land to avoid the security set at the airport, Morales added.

We trusted and they defeated us in the referendum, but we know that the Bolivian right-wing receives instructions from the United States, the president said. Morales stressed that the process of change initiated in 2006 is unstoppable, so we will continue with the democratic and cultural revolution. We are free both economically and politically, and everyone knows that, so we have the right to be anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist, he pointed out.
