LA PAZ, Bolivia.- President Evo Morales acknowledged the struggle of indigenous women that continues in Bolivia to overcome the new acts of racism generated by the opposition after the elections of October 20.

On his Twitter account, the President highlighted the attitude of Nobel Peace Prize Rigoberta Menchu, who always advocated for indigenous women to be recognized in all spheres of society.
