Buenos Aires, December 26 (RHC)-- Bolivian leader Evo Morales celebrated Christmas early Wednesday with a group of children from the Bolivian community in Argentina and called for “peace, solidarity and reconciliation” for his country.

Evo, who was forced to resign after a coup d'état against his government on November 10th, shared a Christmas breakfast with the children of the Bolivian community that was shared on his social networks.  He took to his Twitter account to express his "commitment to continue fighting for new generations to leave them a free, dignified and sovereign country."

Currently a political refugee in Argentina, Evo -- in another video shared by Twitter -- recalled the difficult times that the Andean country is going through and expressed his respect and admiration for the resistance of his compatriots to the coup and the racist violence carried out by the de-facto government of Jeanine Añez towards the Indigenous population.  "Above any ideological differences, we Bolivians are sisters and brothers," Morales said.

He said that next Sunday, Morales will meet on the border of Argentina and Bolivia with some 1,000 leaders of the Movement Toward Socialism (MAS) party to discuss who will be the party’s main candidates in the next 2020 elections.
