Bolivia removes US diplomat

Posted by Anonymous | Tuesday, March 10, 2009 | 0 comments »


Bolivian president, Evo Morales, on Monday expelled US Embassy official Francisco Martinez from La Paz, Bolivia. Morales accused him of having contacts with some of Bolivia's opposition groups. It is not the first time Morales has accused a US Diplomat of unsavory doing in Bolivia. Six months ago, U.S. Ambassador Philip Goldberg was accused of having encouraged anti-government demonstrators to violence.

During a press conference Morales, sounding more like his quasi mentor Hugo Chavez, vowed that, "The times of the colony will end in Latin America."
