00:00President Evo Morales, in response to the arrest warrant issued against him,
00:04claimed that those who should be prosecuted are the ones who cause conflicts in the country
00:09by enacting laws that harm the Bolivian people.
00:18At the end of the day, who should be judged and prosecuted?
00:24The law, trash fuel, those who are secretly drafting 10 laws to privatize basic services.
00:34Here comes the conflict.
00:35And will it end with the state of emergency, the state of lockdown?
00:39No, the people will keep going.
00:42We're listening, we're watching.
00:44Already a state of emergency, small protests.
00:47That's why I say, if the government doesn't change its mindset, that's their problem.
00:52And they shouldn't be shifting the blame.
00:56The former president also stated that during the protests occurred last June in Bolivia,
01:01he was in the tropical region and that despite threats against him from the government of
01:06President Rodrigo Paz, the protests for peace continue in Bolivia.
01:11During the conflict, I was here.
01:16I didn't leave the tropical region.
01:19And I rarely went out based on the advice of my comrades, because they said that by June 13,
01:25Ivo would definitely be arrested.
01:28The new defense minister said that a small group wanted Ivo either arrested or dead by June 13.
01:34And we knew this, which is why there was a massive rally on the 10th.
01:38We demonstrated the strength of the tropical region of Cochabamba, and they didn't dare to act.
01:43To the minister of the interior, I'm here, I haven't been arrested, and I'm still alive.
01:49I want you to know, at the expanded meeting we held on May 9, we decided.
01:54We decided right then to respond to the Bolivian Workers' Confederation's call for a march in La Paz,
02:01a peaceful march.
02:02We have not decided to block roads.
02:08And also, the Bolivian ex-president and social leader Evo Morales categorically rejected terrorism accusations made by President Rodrigo Paz,
02:16denouncing them as a U.S.-backed strategy.
02:21That's why I say that when they talk about terrorism, they're speaking just like the United States.
02:26And all those who speak out against Evo Morales, they're right here, friends.
02:31They speak just like the United States.
02:33It's right here in their document.
02:37Are we terrorists now?
02:39Oh, so now they're accusing us of being narco-terrorists.
02:43That's the empire's plan.
02:44Not just for Bolivia, but for all of Latin America.
