Two years after winning Bolivia's presidential election, what has Evo Morales achieved? In this exclusive interview with Politique Internationale, the Bolivian leader outlines his accomplishments to date. He is proud of his successes, first & foremost his renegotiation of contracts with oil multinationals to the benefit of the Bolivian state. He also frankly describes the difficulties which he faces. The opposition, organized around Bolivia's most prominent businessmen, is both powerful & determined, to the extent that the regions it controls might even secede. In addition, its hostility to all government initiatives has had serious economic consequences. Parliament has been the theater of a vicious war between the presidential camp & its opponents, who systematically refuse to support any government project. However, Evo Morales remains confident. No revolution, he explains, happened in a day. Adapted from the source document.
