<p>The 180 km <em>“</em>March for the Homeland” that set out from
Caracollo, Bolivia, on November 23, arrived at the capital La Paz on
Monday, November 29. The march was organized as a popular defense of
peace and democracy against the seditious pretensions of the extreme
right forces that are trying to carry out a coup against President Luis
Arce.</p>
<p>The march was composed of union leaders, peasants, coca growers,
workers and other social sectors. Tens of thousands of revolutionary
sympathizers raised the Wiphala flag as a symbol of indigenous struggle
and demanded respect for democratically elected Luis Arce’s presidency.</p>

<p>The patriotic revolutionary people of Bolivia have come out, once
again, in defense of the country’s political and social stability; to
defend the democratic gains that were threatened by the Jeanine Áñez
dictatorship that overthrew Evo Morales in 2019.</p>

<p>Two years after that coup and one year after Bolivia regained its
democracy, right-wing factions continue in their intention of ignoring
the Bolivian people’s will that led Luis Alberto Arce Catacora to the
presidency.</p>
<blockquote>

<p><strong>Democracy and leadership<br>
</strong>Former president Evo Morales Ayma has remained at the head of
the mobilizations. So has President Arce himself, who joined the march
over the weekend. “With you we will never feel alone,” the president
addressed the march. “Thank you my brothers and sisters.”</p>

<p>Evo Morales highlighted the determination of those who have joined
the march from different corners of the country. The people of Bolivia
have maintained, in their great majority, a conviction in the
constitution and democracy, said former president Morales.</p>

<p>“The power of our revolutionary conviction has made this March for
the Homeland one of the most important mobilizations in recent years,”
declared Evo Morales during the march. “Thousands of our comrades have
marched in strength, but peacefully, to the city of La Paz.”</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="ltr" lang="es">La Paz nunca nos ha abandonado. Gracias a la
dignidad, valentía y conciencia de nuestro pueblo, junto a la
solidaridad de presidentes amigos, hemos salvado la vida y hemos vuelto.
Ahora nuestra misión es mantenernos movilizados para que nunca más se
repita un golpe de Estado <a href="https://t.co/jTYmHKiUNw">pic.twitter.com/jTYmHKiUNw</a></p>
<p>— Evo Morales Ayma (@evoespueblo) <a href="https://twitter.com/evoespueblo/status/1465471746677555207?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 30, 2021</a></p></blockquote>
<p>President Luis Arce also thanked the people of Bolivia, who, after
walking from all the nine departments of Bolivia for seven days under
the sun and rain, arrived at La Paz to express their support for Arce’s
government.</p>
<p>“Today,” said the president in his address to the marchers arriving
in La Paz, “the Bolivian people have made history again with this act
that surpasses all previous mobilizations that we have seen in La Paz’s
main square. The people have demanded respect for their vote at the
polls and have told the right wing that they will never again allow
coups in Bolivia.”</p>
