ALBA-TCP CELEBRATES THE BICENTENARY OF BOLIVIA'S DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

The ALBA-TCP commemorates the bicentenary of the founding of the Republic of Bolivar and congratulates the people and government of the Plurinational State of Bolivia.

The ALBA-TCP celebrates with deep emotion and living memory the Bicentenary of the founding of the Republic of Bolivar, proclaimed on August 6, 1825 by the Deliberative Assembly of Chuquisaca, convened by the Grand Marshal of Ayacucho, Antonio José de Sucre, under the command of the Liberator Simon Bolivar in homage to the first year of the epic victory in the Battle of Junín.

That day Bolivia was born, El Libertador's favorite daughter, born at the crossroads of indigenous courage, popular fire and the emancipatory vision of the liberators. With Bolívar in his soul and Sucre in the field, a new homeland was sown in the heart of America, woven with the invisible thread of justice, dignity and self-determination.

The Republic of Bolivar was the first institutional spark of what is now the Plurinational State of Bolivia. Since that founding act, a rebellious, diverse nation has been forged, profoundly aware of its role in the struggle for a free and united Latin America, representing a new, more inclusive, participatory, and community model of great historical, social, cultural and legal importance, which recognizes the pre-colonial existence of indigenous indigenous peoples and peasants.

Today, two centuries later, Bolivia remains the moral vanguard of Our America. From Túpac Katari to Bartolina Sisa, from Juana Azurduy to the original, peasant and urban communities that resisted and defeated neoliberalism, the spirit of August 1825 is more alive than ever.

From the ALBA-TCP, from the peoples who fight and dream of social justice and real sovereignty, we join this historic commemoration with gratitude and hope. The birth of Bolivia was also the birth of a common cause that is still beating: the Great Homeland.
