La Paz, August 5 (RHC)-- The former president of Bolivia and leader of the ruling Movement Towards Socialism/Political Instrument for the Sovereignty of the Peoples (MAS-IPSP), Evo Morales, has called for unity during the recent party congress.  Evo said: "United we are invincible."

Evo spoke at the conclave of the MAS-IPSP, which took place in Lauca Ñ, a town in the tropics of the department of Cochabamba.  The former president stressed the need for the militants of the political group to form a bloc to face the "threats" coming from the right and the U.S. government, which, he said, "does not want the MAS to continue (existing)."

"Our congress is fundamentally (about) how to strengthen that struggle, the best way to strengthen that struggle is precisely by uniting," he said.

Bolivian President Luis Arce, who was present at the activity of that political organization, said in a tweet that "in this Congress there will be debate, but the unity of the MAS-IPSP will be consolidated."

"The right wing does not sleep, it puts out false news through its media seeking to divide us. They know that united they will never defeat us neither in the ballot boxes nor in the streets. Long live the MAS-IPSP!", expressed the Bolivian head of state in his message on Twitter.

Morales, in a message on the same social network, thanked the national, departmental and municipal authorities and social organizations that came to the Tropic of Cochabamba from different parts of the country to participate in the III Statutory Organic Congress of MAS-IPSP.
