NOW more than ever conferences like this are crucial because we are seeing the vengeance of imperialism, attacking our progressive leaders and the most vulnerable in Latin America.
My name is Miriam Amancay Colque and I am an Aymara woman from Bolivia. I was there during the recent elections. I went there because I wanted to celebrate another victory for our people — and instead I saw the rise of a fascist state.
Bolivia flourished with Evo Morales. Our natural resources were under our control and the wealth gained from them was used to build schools, social housing, highways and much more.
There was a historical debt owed to the indigenous people, who after centuries of being dominated by an elite mostly made up of European descendants, were empowered by Morales’s presidency, with their dignity restored. For the first time I could see the real country in all its diversity — a plurinational state of Bolivia.
