La Paz, Apr 10 (Prensa Latina) Abolishing privatization stands as one of the priorities for the governing Bolivian Movement towards Socialism (MAS), confirmed Monday that organization.

According to President Evo Morales and President of the Senate Santos Ramirez, the MAS intends to achieve an overwhelming victory and set a new economic model based on the recovery of national resources.

The Bolivian government will now abolish the great privatization imposed last decade by the neoliberal regimen of the ex-President Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada (1993-97), which gave foreign enterprises the control of oil, telecommunications, aviation and electricity among others.

MAS proposals will also center on the construction of a Unitarian, intercultural, participative and democratic state where ethical and moral values support the new political system and become fundamental goals.

The current Bolivian government looks at the Constituent Assembly, demanded by indigenous and social organizations since last decade, as an important tool to implement the reforms and abolish neoliberalism.

The Movement towards Socialism must win more than two thirds out of the 255 established votes to approve a constitution in correspondence with its objectives.
