Mexico City, November 27 (RHC)-- Bolivia's exiled President Evo Morales rejected Wednesday the Interpol notice issued against him in the framework of the political persecution unleashed in his country after the November 10th coup d'etat.

Interpol's alert has been turned on for Uruguay, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and Mexico.  This security alert is intended to "locate, identify or obtain information about a person of interest in a criminal investigation."

The Indigenous leader, in a press conference from Mexico City, denounced that the new fascist administration in Bolivia has not prosecuted those responsible for the 30 deaths registered in the context of the protests.  However, he pointed out, they persecute and accuse of multiple crimes the militants and followers of the Movement Towards Socialism (MAS), Morales' party.

Evo Morales said that he, on the other hand, is being falsely accused of terrorism, criminal association and armed uprising related to popular demonstrations that rejected the fascist coup in the country.

Evo said: "The coup wasn't against Evo, but against the entire country.  They want to dismantle the Plurinational State, a reference of unity for the peoples of the world.  Fascism does not accept the diversity of cultures and thought.  But together we will rise up again."

He recalled that when he presented his resignation, he aimed to avoid violence in Bolivia and move forward with a democratic agenda.  The Bolivian leader said that social movements are treated as criminals under capitalism and reiterated that the interim government acts in a racist and discriminatory way.

"The sector I represent, which is an Indigenous movement, has historically been against racism and discrimination."
