Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Bolivia Rebukes U.S. for Alleged Interference

HeadlineAug 30, 2007

Bolivia has accused the Bush administration of working to undermine its democratically elected government. On Wednesday, Presidential Minister Juan Ramón de la Quintana said the White House is not cooperating with Bolivia and instead fostering destabilization.

Ramón de la Quintana: “We want to say, in the most respectful, firm and responsible way, that if the United States does not adjust to the policies of the Bolivian government, then the doors are open (to leave). We are not going to permit one day more in which this form of 'cooperation' pollutes our democracy, conspires against the right of our people or offends our national dignity.”

Earlier this week, Bolivian Vice President Álvaro García Linera accused the U.S. embassy of financing opposition groups to President Evo Morales.
