Appeal for Solidarity with the People, the Government, the Communist and Progressive Forces of Bolivia

The political process in Bolivia faces a critical moment.

The reactionary forces, the oligarchy, the US government, and some European forces promote a large-scale campaign aiming to reverse the progressive process in this Latin American country.

The goal of all these forces is to block the changes promoted by the Constituent Assembly for a new democratic Constitution to meet popular demands.

The retrograde forces, defeated in October 2003 and during the elections in 2005, are trying again to reorganize their ranks, to stop any change, and to undermine President Evo Morales. In order to achieve their goals, they use any means, including armed groups.

The important progressive forces of the country, social movements, and organizations, after great and heroic battles, alongside the Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) under the presidency of Evo Morales, won a big majority in the elections. Now these forces intend to make this victory matter, adopting and developing important measures for the benefit of the nation and workers.

We, the signatories of this appeal, resolutely denounce the support provided by the US government as well as its direct involvement in the subversive actions in Bolivia. We also denounce the scandalous tolerance shown by other imperialist states and international organizations towards such inadmissible actions.

There is an urgent task for all of us: to unequivocally condemn, isolate, and defeat the reactionary forces both on the national and international levels.

We stand on the side of the people of Bolivia and fully support the great mobilizations against the plans for a coup d'etat.

We support the alliance between the people and the government of Bolivia against the machinations of the oligarchy.

We express our full solidarity to the Bolivian people, to the government of President Evo Morales, to the Communist Party of Bolivia, to MAS-IRSP, and to all other progressive and anti-imperialist forces and movements in their great battle in defense of the democratic conquests, in the struggle for deeper changes.

We call for the development, by all means, of a broad solidarity movement with the anti-imperialist forces and the people of Bolivia.
