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

Almost everyone is bald. And thats because of what they eat.

With Bolivia, I had hope that a discriminated African-American, with another discriminated indigenous peasant leader, I hoped that together we could work for justice and equality. Not only for just two countries, Bolivia and USA, but for equality around the world.

Playing sports has always been my greatest pleasure. I don't smoke, I hardly drink alcohol. Sports helped get me into the presidential palace. My first position in the union was that of sports secretary.

I'm still convinced. We all fight for freedom, but the foundation of freedom is equality and justice. And we are all on the road.

I am sure of the fact that Fidel and Chávez are commanders of the forces of freedom in America, to liberate America and the world.

70 to 80 percent of country economy is controlled by the Bolivian state, and the other percentage by the private sector. We admit that it's legal, constitutional, that the private sector is entitled to its own economy, but to ensure these profound changes that clearly this government is promoting, including profound changes in the food industry, what we are doing is an important step.
