President Evo Morales spoke at an Independence Day event in the city of Trinidad on Thursday, in which he reaffirmed the foundation of Bolivia as a Republic despite the efforts of transnational corporations and oligarchs to weaken it. Before Independence was won some 190 years ago, there was one coup after another sparked by the oligarchy in collusion with international business interests, he said, vowing that Bolivia will never go back to those days. teleSUR
