Former Bolivian President Evo Morales
BOLIVIA’S state-owned services are being dismantled and sold off to the private sector, exiled former president Evo Morales warned on Saturday, accusing the coup administration of destroying the country.
The socialist leader, who is currently in Argentina, which offered him a safe haven after he was ousted last December, denounced the breaking up of state assets, including Yacimientos Petroliferos Fiscales Bolivianos, Bolivian Airlines, and Bolivian Telecommunications (Entel).
Mr Morales reminded Bolivians of the need to protect the nationalised industries, many of which were the subject of mass protests, most notably the so-called water war against IMF-imposed privatisation plans in 1999-2000.
