".
I roundly condemn the wave of brutal repression unleashed by the Bolivian army on the orders of the country’s former president, Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada, which has left dozens dead and hundreds injured.
The struggle of the Bolivian people has evolved over the last few months, growing into a popular uprising whose central demand is a guarantee that Bolivia and its people will retain sovereignty over the country’s energy resources. That struggle brought about the resignation of President Sánchez de Lozada.
It is crucial that the perspectives and opportunities opened up by this important victory for the Bolivian people should enable their most profound and legitimate aspirations to be realised. Particularly important is that the country should have full control over its natural resources, especially energy resources. This should be achieved principally through nationalisation of those resources and an end to foreign interference, above all by the United States.
It is also essential to move towards an end to the neoliberal capitalist policies which have caused the poverty and difficulties suffered by a huge majority of the population. They must be replaced by policies which do the reverse, responding effectively to the needs of the workers and people of Bolivia and improving their living conditions."@en1
