Evo Morales
Wikipedia articleDbpedia source
Juan Evo Morales Ayma (born October 26, 1959), popularly known as Evo, is a Bolivian politician and activist, who has served as President of Bolivia since 2006. Politically a democratic socialist, he leads the Movement for Socialism party (MAS) and the Cocalero trade union. His administration has focused on the implementation of leftist reform, poverty reduction and combating the influence of the United States and transnational corporations in Bolivia. Born to an Aymara family of subsistence farmers in Isallawi, Orinoca Canton, Evo undertook a basic education before mandatory military service, in 1978 moving to Chapare Province. Growing coca, he joined the cocalero trade union, rising to prominence in the campesino (rural laborers) union, campaigning against the United States and Bolivian government's attempts to eradicate coca as a part of the War on Drugs. Entering electoral politics in 1995, he became leader of MAS, focusing on issues affecting indigenous and poor communities, advocating land reform and redistribution of gas wealth. Gaining increasing visibility through the gas conflict and the Cochabamba protests of 2000, in 2002 he was expelled from Congress, though came second in that year's presidential election. Elected president in 2005, he instituted land redistribution and nationalisation of key industries, scaling back U.S. involvement in Bolivia while building relationships with other nations in the Latin American Pink Tide and joining the Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas. Winning a recall referendum in 2008, he instituted a new constitution before being re-elected with a landslide in 2009, furthering leftist reform and joining the Bank of the South and Community of Latin American and Caribbean States. Morales has received international acclaim for his support of indigenous rights and anti-imperialism, and has been named "World Hero of Mother Earth" by the General Assembly of the United Nations. Critics have accused him of autocratic tendencies and protecting the cocaine trade.
