 * Message of the National Assembly of People's Power and of the Council of State of Cuba to Evo Morales**

Dear compañero Evo Morales:
We have received with profound joy the historic victory of the people of Bolivia in Sunday's election, and your proclamation, by a crushing and indisputable majority, as President of Bolivia. For months we have followed with interest the news coming from your country and were aware of the tremendous obstacles that were being erected to frustrate the will of your people. We knew of the pressures of the empire, of the maneuvers and intrigues of those who would continue to strip Bolivia of its immense natural resources and who are the ones responsible for the tremendous misery, oppression and discrimination imposed for centuries on a noble and rebellious people that has never stopped fighting for freedom and justice. Millions of Quechuas, Aymaras, Guaranies, Chiquitanos and other native peoples of your country had been always excluded from a political system that was the legacy and continuation of colonial servitude. Many of them were arbitrarily denied the right to vote on December 18, and in that way they snatched hundreds of thousands of votes from you. But on that day, despite everything, the people won. The magnitude of their victory was so great and eloquent that all were forced to recognize it, even those who for years have slandered you, have distorted the aspirations and sacrifices of the social movements you have known how to lead with wisdom and dignity, and until the eve of the elections were determined to hide the tremendous support for your candidacy. With your victory, a new history is born, the history of the emancipation of the peoples whom colonialism and racism wanted to crush and wipe out. Finally, after half a millennium of genocide, they come to power with you. It is the hour of the true discovery of America, of indigenous America, of Black America, of mestizo America, of the America of Bolívar and Martí, that today is everywhere proclaiming its definitive and unrenounceable independence. You and your people have before you new and great challenges. It is necessary that you be accompanied, from right now, by the full solidarity of the entire world. We send you the solidarity of the Government and People of Cuba. In greeting you and celebrating with you this victory that we feel as our own, we call on all peoples to reject imperialist threats and to unfold the most energetic and firm backing of the government you will lead with the determination and dignity that have characterized your life as a selfless fighter. Thank you, Evo, thanks to the Bolivian people for having demonstrated with the clarity of the sun that another, better world is possible. Receive the embrace of a Cuba that is always revolutionary and in solidarity. [Signed] National Assembly of People's Power of Cuba Fidel Castro Ruz Council of State of the Republic of Cuba**
