Morales accepts European ‘apologies’
Thursday, July 25, 2013

LA PAZ: Bolivian President Evo Morales on Wednesday accepted apologies from France, Spain, Italy and Portugal for blocking his jet from their airspace over suspicions US fugitive Edward Snowden was on board.

“I want to say that, while we are not completely satisfied, we accept the apologies of the four countries as a first step, because we want to continue relations with the countries,” Morales said in a statement.

The leftist president said he was now sending back the ambassadors he had recalled for consultations after the diplomatic row. But he added Bolivia reserves the right to pursue actions before international organizations that it considers necessary to ensure the incident would not be repeated.

Earlier this month, during a flight home from Moscow, European authorities diverted Morales’s plane to Austria and searched it after rumours he had Snowden on board.

Why are they apologizing?

for those who need it

Like many other things I don't expect an admission by people who were wrong
