La Paz, Feb 15 (Prensa Latina) Bolivian President Evo Morales denounced the preparations by the opposition to declare as fraud the results of the referendum scheduled for February 21 in light of the victory of the Yes vote in favor of the presidential duo to run for office again in 2019.
We will win this voting, said Morales in a TV interview on Sunday night, when he recalled that the referendum is not his initiative or that of Vice President Alvaro Garcia Linera, but it came from the social and workers' movements to continue the process of change.
He pointed out that behind the opposition journalist Carlos Valverde, who accused him of alleged traffic of influences for favoring hiring an ex partner in the Chinese company CAMC, there is an open conspiracy by the United States.
That conspiracy and the campaign of slanders and lies are aimed against Bolivia's democratic process, noted the president, adding that there is evidence that on December 11, Valverde met with three US diplomats in Santa Cruz.
Morales underlined his agreement with the articles published by the Argentine political analyst Atilio Borón in Mexico, where he denounced personages from the previous governments who are fugitives of justice and are leading the No campaign and the opposition's actions from the United States.
