La Paz, Bolivia.- In his Twitter, Morales commented that Coco Manto is the teacher of revolutionary oratory and of the worthy and committed verse, after the presentation of a CD with songs referring to the sea on Friday at the Casa Grande del Pueblo.

His voice expresses the voices of the people, because he uses the words that reflect the feeling of the people. With the truth he denounced the dictators, with his poetry he defeated the privatizes, the dignitary added in the tweet.

The compilation of musical themes is called Clamor for a return to the sea, designed for dissemination before the ruling of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, Netherlands, scheduled for October 1.

For her part, Lopez thanked Coco Manto for ‘teaching us to respond to attacks from Chilean authorities with poetry, song, dance and love commitment

She added that, for Bolivia, the issue of maritime claim is a historical longing inherited for generations, which is a source of inspiration for many artists, such as the Uruguayan journalist and writer Eduardo Galeano, who suggested the Book of the Sea as the stolen sea. .

Bolivia sued Chile before the ICJ in 2013 for it to agree to a negotiation in good faith and binding effect on a dignified and sovereign exit to the Pacific Ocean, whose ruling will be announced within nine days.

The Bolivian nation lost 400 kilometers of coastline at war with Chile in 1879.

This search for justice, supported and argued juridically, historically and reasonably has also allowed a shift in society, which now looks at this cause with different eyes and feels its desire in another way, added Lopez.

Similarly, Coco Manto expressed during the presentation of the CD that the Bolivian maritime claim stopped being a neighborhood problem to become a matter of global interest.

He also commented that, whatever the ruling of the ICJ, this process is already a victory for Bolivians, because the whole world will know about the maritime demand and their right to the sea.
