This Wednesday, the vice-president of Bolivia, David Choquehuanca, said that his country will complete the independence process and that today more than ever it is important for the country to find balance by recognizing its identity, and leaving behind divisions and confrontations that make it vulnerable to the maneuvers of those who want to seize its resources.

During the honorary session of the Plurinational Legislative Assembly on the occasion of the Bicentennial, held in the city of Sucre, the vice-president assured that independence did not make all Bolivians independent and free.

He said that the strength of his country lies in the complementarity of diversity and that the Plurinational State has not yet solved the historic debt of inclusion.

He stated that, despite the teachings of history, schemes of neocolonialism are recycled and divisions and confrontations are reproduced. He assured that these problems make the country vulnerable to the maneuvers of powers that want to appropriate its resources.

“Today, people know more and recognize that during the two decades of the Plurinational State, political actors have not built a State with their own roots. It's time to consider how we want to build ourselves,” he said.

Choquehuanca stressed that Bolivian society must deepen changes and focus on decolonization and zero patriarchalization, to definitely leave behind “a patriarchal republican system, alien to contemporary plurinational reality”, without the shadow of caudillism and Llunkerio.
