Morales Goes to OAS for Sea Access

La Paz, Mar 23 (Prensa Latina) Bolivian President Evo Morales called on the Organization of American States Thursday, to deal with his nation´s demand for a sea outlet to the Pacific, and called on the Chilean government to listen to the people.

The president made the demands in a mass commemoration of the Day of the Sea, at which participated many social organizations, which he asked to join the rest of the country to achieve this objective.

Morales directed his comments specifically to OAS general secretary Chilean Miguel Angel Insulza, whom he invited to come to La Paz to discuss this as soon as possible.

Besides requesting an emergency meeting of the OAS, the Bolivian president also asked the United Nations, the Catholic Church, the European Union and other international instances, such as Cuba, Venezuela and Argentina who have favored a way out, to participate in seeking a peaceful solution to the problem.

He called on the international community "to help repair a historic injury," not given by the Chilean people, but by the English empire in order to access the natural resources of the country; using as examples of such solutions, the restitution of the Canal to Panama and of Hong Kong to China.
