I Am Not Accustomed To Protocol.

Globalization Creates Economic Policies Where The Transnationals Lord Over Us, And The Result Is Misery And Unemployment.

The Capitalist System Only Allows Us To Heap Up Waste. I Would Like To Propose That The Trillions Of Money Earmarked For War Should Be Channeled To Make Good The Damage To The Environment, To Make Reparations To The Earth.

Politics In Bolivia Must Combine Social Consciousness With Professional Competency. In My Administration, Intellectuals From The Upper Class Can Be Cabinet Ministers Or Ambassadors, As Can Members Of Indian Ethnic Groups.

I Am Catholic But I Want To Say Something To The Catholics. Thank You For Some Of The Bishops Who Live In Rural Areas, And Are Still Catholic. These Bishops Of The Catholic Churches Still Pray For The Poor, And Pray For Their President Who Works For The Poor, While The Leaders Of The Catholic Church Only Defend Oligarchy.

The Relationship Between The Government Of The United States And Social And Indigenous Movements Has Always Been Difficult. Not Just In Bolivia But Worldwide. We Need To Have Bilateral Relations Characterized By Mutual Respect.
