The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Evo Morales
- Sooner or later, we will have to recognise that the Earth has rights, too, to live without pollution. What mankind must know is that human beings cannot live without Mother Earth, but the planet can live without humans.
- The most important thing is the indigenous people are not vindictive by nature. We are not here to oppress anybody – but to join together and build Bolivia, with justice and equality.
- Globalization creates economic policies where the transnationals lord over us, and the result is misery and unemployment.
- I don’t mind being a permanent nightmare for the United States.
- The new republic should be based on diversity, respect and equal rights for all.
- This is a coca leaf. This is not cocaine. This represents the culture of indigenous people of the Andean region.
- Bolivia’s majority Indian population was always excluded, politically oppressed and culturally alienated. Our national wealth, our raw materials, was plundered. Indios were once treated like animals here. In the 1930s and 40s, they were sprayed with DDT to kill the vermin on their skin and in their hair whenever they came into the city.
- Capitalism is the worst friend of humanity.
- In 2006, I entered the presidential palace in the main square of La Paz as the first indigenous president of Bolivia. Our government, under the slogan ‘Bolivia Changes,’ is committed to ending the colonialism, racism and exclusion that many of our people lived under for many centuries.
- All of Africa’s resources should be declared resources of the state and managed by the nation. Our experience in Bolivia shows that when you take control of natural resources for the people of the town and village, major world change is possible.
Evo Morales, born October 26, 1959, in Isallavi, Bolivia, is a prominent politician and former trade union leader who served as Bolivia’s president from 2006 to 2019. Raised in an indigenous Aymara family, Morales faced economic hardships early on, working as a coca farmer and leading the cocalero (coca growers) union.
His advocacy for indigenous rights and the coca industry propelled him into politics, and in 1997, he was elected to the Bolivian Congress.
In 2005, Morales became the first indigenous president of Bolivia, representing the Movement for Socialism (MAS) party. His administration focused on land reform, nationalizing natural resources, and advancing indigenous rights, significantly reducing poverty and expanding social programs. Bolivia’s economy saw considerable growth under Morales, driven by state control over key industries like natural gas.
Despite his popularity, Morales faced criticism for attempts to extend his presidency. In 2019, a disputed election led to widespread protests and his resignation under pressure. Morales initially sought asylum in Mexico and Argentina before returning to Bolivia in 2020 after the MAS won new elections. His legacy is complex, marked by significant social progress for Bolivia’s marginalized communities and controversies surrounding his extended time in office.
