Morales Calls on US Ambassador to Leave Bolivia

HeadlineSep 11, 2008

In Bolivia, President Evo Morales says he’s asked the US ambassador to return to Washington. Speaking at the presidential palace, Morales said Ambassador Philip Goldberg has helped orchestrate efforts by oil-rich provinces to declare autonomy.

Bolivian President Evo Morales: “Without fear of the empire and before all of you and the people of Bolivia, I declare [Philip] Goldberg, the US ambassador, persona non grata.”

Morales has frequently accused the US of siding with his right-wing opponents. The State Department says it hasn’t received a formal request for Goldberg’s departure.
