<p>Bolivian President <a
href="http://www.telesurtv.net/english/news/Morales-Declares-Total-Independence-from-World-Bank-and-IMF--20170722-0020.html">Evo
Morales</a> on Tuesday took to Twitter to state that
the United States is planning to “recolonize” Latin
America. </p>
<p>The socialist Indigenous leader cited <a
href="http://www.telesurtv.net/english/news/-Venezuelan-Armed-Forces-Repel-Anti-Government-Attack-20170806-0011.html">Venezuela</a>
as being the strategic link behind the scheme, of which
“the empire has initiated a wide-scale battle to
recolonize Latin America and the Caribbean.”</p>
<p>In another tweet, Morales emphasized that the United
States utilizes the same pretexts to justify their
objective, including support for “democracy,” combating
“terrorism” and fighting “narcotrafficking,” among
others. </p>
<p>He added that mainstream corporate media outlets <a
href="http://www.telesurtv.net/english/analysis/What-Mainstream-Media-Got-Wrong-About-Venezuelas-Constituent-Assembly-Vote--20170730-0037.html">replicate
the same excuses</a>, according to La Radio del Sur.</p>
<p>After delineating the threat, Morales urged all troops
in the region to remain alert to defend their
sovereignty and independence.</p>
<p>On Sunday, the people of Bolivia celebrated 192 years
of independence. In doing so, Morales expressed
gratitude towards the multiethnic and pluricultural
nation and the country's signing of the Independence Act
in 1825, which made Bolivia a sovereign, independent
country.</p>
<p>Earlier, Vice President Alvaro Garcia Linera emphasized
that the greatest tribute to independence is to continue
the transformation of the Indigenous-majority country,
which was initiated in recent years by the political
coalition Movement for Socialism.</p>
<p>Since Morales took office in 2006, Bolivia has
undergone a dramatic restructuring of its
socio-political agenda. After nationalizing its natural
resource sector and liberating itself from foreign
magnates, the country has improved its education,
healthcare and social security systems. </p>
<p>Once known as one of most underdeveloped nations in the
region, the country is now a leader in terms of its
domestic economy. Earlier this year, Morales stressed
that Bolivia had achieved <a
href="http://www.telesurtv.net/english/news/Morales-Declares-Total-Independence-from-World-Bank-and-IMF--20170722-0020.html">complete
independence</a> from the International Monetary Fund
and World Bank, which for many years dictated the
economic destiny of the country.</p>
