The president’s call was made on Saturday, at a meeting with mayors, a few days ahead of the 10th anniversary of his mandate and the 11th anniversary of the Plurinational State. Morales stressed the unity of the Bolivian people and the ongoing fight by social movements that recovered their national sovereignty and dignity, like one of the pillars of the deep transformations made in the country.
“During the past decade, unions, social movements, professionals, intellectuals and the Bolivian people have made history,” he stressed as he extended an invitation to celebrate that date together. The collective efforts brought about Bolivia’s becoming a model state by the end of 2015, ranking first in South America in terms of economic growth and second in the entire continent. Morales issued a decree marking January 22 as the Day of the Foundation of Bolivia's Plurinational State, from now on a national holiday.
