For me, being leftist means fighting against injustice and inequality but, most of all, we want to live well.

We can not have equilibrium in this world with the current inequality and destruction of Mother Earth. Capitalism is what is causing this problem and it needs to end.

The U.S. should be equally responsible for diminishing the cocaine market within the United States as it is in fighting the drug elsewhere.

I want to stress that at no time Bolivia acts untimely or irresponsibly.

I don't mind being a permanent nightmare for the United States.

The most important thing is the indigenous people are not vindictive by nature. We are not here to oppress anybody - but to join together and build Bolivia, with justice and equality.
