The censure of minister of hydrocarbon, Andres Soliz Rada, yesterday by the
Senate unleashed a political war. In a message to the country, president Evo
Morales Ayma declared the senators of Social Democratic Power (PODEMOS) to
be "traitors to the homeland, killers and mass murderers".

"The nationalisation will not be stopped. The traitors to the homeland, the
killers and mass murders do not want the politics of this country to change"
signalled the head of state, in tone which demonstrated his annoyance.

"There are the traitors to the homeland, and the people know that those who
expelled me [from parliament] in 2002 now want to expel Andres Soliz Rada
from the cabinet. They will not be able to expel nor paralyse the
nationalisation and industrialisation of the natural resources" he
sustained.
After assuring that those who censured the minister of hydrocarbons are "the
rubbish of the neoliberal model", Morales rejected the resignation presented
by Soliz and considered "shameful" the decision of the PODEMOS senators.
