Socialist leader dedicates election win to Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro
Evo Morales dedicated his historic election victory yesterday, winning an unprecedented presidential third term, to Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez.
“There is a deep feeling, not just in Bolivia but in the Americas, of freedom, of a triumph for all anti-imperialists,” Mr Morales said.
The Bolivian president romped home with 60 per cent of the vote against 25 per cent for wealthy businessman Samuel Doria Medina.
