Sao Paulo, November 18 (RHC)-- The president of Bolivia, Luis Arce, advocated in the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo for the integration of progressive governments and leftist political forces in the region, to make a front against right-wing sectors.

"The challenge for the revolutionary, progressive parties of the left is to make regional integration and regional communications a reality, because the right wing is articulated," said Arce, who participated in an event at the headquarters of the Central Unica de Trabajadores (CUT) of Brazil.

While presenting the conference: "Experiences of the Bolivian democratic resistance and the model to face inequalities," the Bolivian president denounced the conspiracy between U.S. groups and Bolivian right-wing politicians.

"There are links between our domestic bourgeoisie and U.S. interests and those of other countries.  This nexus, this connection, makes them speak the same language, makes them say the same slogans and allows them act in the same way," he affirmed.

He denounced that an example of this is that right-wing leaders called him a dictator, despite having won the October 2020 elections with 55.11 percent of the votes.  He stressed that these groups of the bourgeoisie use the concept of democracy and religion in their own way and at their convenience.

"They are the defenders of democracy when it suits them.  When there is someone who is against and who has democratically assumed the government, they become and say they are democrats," he said.

Arce also said that among the weapons of these right-wing sectors are the media, which in the case of Bolivia played an important and even definitive role during the coup d'état of 2019 and in the de facto government of 2020.

The president of the Andean nation visited Brazil at the invitation of the CUT and to share with the Bolivian community in that nation, a meeting that took place earlier this week.
