LA PAZ, July 29 (Xinhua) -- Bolivian President Evo Morales on Friday accused the United States of continuing to plot against his government via embassy personnel.

Bolivia expelled Philip Goldberg, the U.S. ambassador to La Paz, eight years ago, saying the envoy conspired to strengthen Bolivia's right-wing political opposition against Morales' progressive left-leaning government.

"Despite the expulsion...the U.S. government doesn't stop in its zeal to conspire against our democratic and cultural revolution," Morales said through his Twitter account.

The complaint comes a day after Interior Minister Carlos Romero met with U.S. Charge d'Affaires Peter Brennan, who acknowledged having met with opponents to the government.
