The Grayzone’s Oscar Leon interviews Evo Morales, former president of Bolivia and leader of the country’s indigenous and peasant sectors, about the national uprising which now threatens the survival of the government of neoliberal President Rodrigo Paz.
Morales discusses the factors behind the growing rebellion and the refusal of the pro-US government in La Paz to address its demands.
