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

We stand for global security and so we take care of everyone's life.

Capitalism is destroying Mother Earth, and to destroy Mother Earth is to destroy humanity.

In Bolivia, the middle class, intellectuals and the self-employed are proud of their Indian roots. Unfortunately, some oligarchic groups continue to treat us as being inferior.

From my standpoint, coca should be neither destroyed nor completely legalized. Farming should be controlled by the state and by the coca farmers' unions.

This is a coca leaf. This is not cocaine. This represents the culture of indigenous people of the Andean region.

Capitalism and the thirst for profit without limits of the capitalist system are destroying the planet...Climate change has placed all humankind before a great choice: to continue in the ways of capitalism and death, or to start down the path of harmony with nature and respect for life.
