Frases de Evo Morales

Juan Evo Morales Ayma é o atual presidente da Bolívia.

Líder sindical dos cocaleros - agricultores que cultivam a coca, cuja folha é utilizada em chás, mascada, segundo a tradição indígena do partido Movimento para o Socialismo - IPSP . Evo Morales destacou-se ao resistir os esforços do governo dos Estados Unidos para substituição do cultivo da coca, na província de Chapare, por bananas, originárias do Brasil.

De orientação socialista, o foco do seu governo tem sido a implementação da reforma agrária e a nacionalização de setores chaves da economia, contrapondo-se à influência dos Estados Unidos e das grandes corporações nas questões políticas internas da Bolívia. [carece de fontes?]

De etnia uru-aimará, Morales destacou-se a partir dos anos 1980, juntamente com Felipe Quispe e Sixto Jumpiri e alguns outros, na liderança do campesinato indígena do seu país.

Nas eleições presidenciais bolivianas de 2002 Morales ficou em segundo lugar, colocação surpreendente face ao panorama político do país, dominado pelos partidos tradicionais. Nas eleições de dezembro de 2005, porém, venceu com maioria absoluta, tornando-se o primeiro presidente de origem indígena. Assumiu o poder em 22 de janeiro de 2006 como o primeiro mandatário boliviano a ser eleito Presidente da República em primeiro turno em mais de trinta anos, e sendo reeleito em 6 de dezembro de 2009.

Morales é um admirador da ativista indígena guatemalteca Rigoberta Menchú e de Fidel Castro, este último pela oposição à política norte-americana. Morales propõe que o problema da cocaína seja resolvido do lado do consumo, pois o cultivo da Coca seria "um patrimônio cultural dos povos andinos e parte inseparável da cultura boliviana e sua proibição não poderia ser feita através de uma simples regulação estabelecida por uma convenção externa".

Embora o tráfico de drogas seja um problema internacional, a nova posição assumida pela Bolívia devolve aos mercados consumidores de drogas o problema ocasionado pela apropriação, para fins ilícitos, de uma planta de uso tradicional - a coca. Segundo Morales, "haverá zero cocaína, zero tráfico de drogas mas não zero coca." Assim, a posição do governo boliviano é de que os costumes indígenas não devem ser afetados pela política de repressão ao tráfico de drogas.
