Evo Morales: Chavez is More Alive than Ever

La Paz, Mar 6 (Prensa Latina) Bolivian President Evo Morales, said that the recently deceased Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, is more alive than ever and insisted that "he will always be with us."

In an address to the nation from the Palacio Quemado, Morales said "on behalf of the Bolivian people our condolences over the death of President Hugo Chavez."

"We are devastated by the death of the brother Hugo Chavez," said Bolivian head of state with broken voice, while he was accompanied by several members of his cabinet, including Vice President Álvaro García Linera.

Chavez was "a caring brother, a fellow revolutionary, a Latin American who fought for his country, for the great homeland, as Simon Bolivar did."

Our neighbors in Latin America have successfully
taken their governments back from the greedy hands of their 1%.
They have given us the Blue Print for "change".

[font size=3]"The worst enemy of humanity is U.S. capitalism. That is what provokes uprisings like our own, a rebellion against a system, against a neoliberal model, which is the representation of a savage capitalism. If the entire world doesn't acknowledge this reality, that nation states are not providing even minimally for health, education and nourishment, then each day the most fundamental human rights are being violated."[/font]
----Bolivian Reform President Evo Morales



Viva Democracy.
We outnumber them.
