Political career.

When he saw that the social struggle of the coca farmers need to be upgraded into a political movement, the party named MAS led by Evo Morales became a political force that is the largest and strongest in Bolivia. Through the campaign who openly condemn the crimes of multinational corporations, criticized the practices of neoliberalism and globalization conducted by the IMF, World Bank, and WTO, Evo Morales was also much talk about the importance of the Bolivian control the management of natural gas, which is the reserve huge in the Latin American continent. Morales also said that he does not like capitalism. Spanish colonial history in Bolivia shows that the massive looting of Bolivia that form the earth's riches lead only to the wealth of the capitalists Spain, while those of Indian tribes, which constitute the majority of the population, do not get nothing or very little.
During the economic reforms in the 1990s, the former miners began to also grow coca and contribute Bolivian economy increasing in production and international drug smuggling. This is a hiccup and not smooth when the administration of President Hugo Banzer to seek the elimination of drugs that supported the United States in the mid-1990s. From that moment appeared the tensions with the clashes and protests.
As the leader of the cocaleros, Morales was elected to Congress in 1997. He represents the Bolivian province of Chapare and Carrasco de Cochabamba with 70% of votes in the district. This is the largest number among 68 MPs are elected directly in the election.

Birth and family.

Morales was born in Orinco, a mining town in the region of Oruro, in the Altiplano (Plateau area) Bolivia. Like many indigenous people in the Highlands, the family moved to the lowlands in eastern Bolivia in the early 1980s. His family settled in Chapare. There they became farmers, including tree planting coca, the raw material needed to produce cocaine.

Election 2002.
Dismissal of members of Congress.

In January 2002, he was fired from his seat in Congress because of terrorism charges related to the riots. Demonstrators opposed to the abolition of the planting of coca in Sacaba that month. Four coca growers, three soldiers and a police officer were killed. However, there is mention dismissal due to a variety of heavy pressure from the United States embassy demanding that he be removed from government.

Candidacy to be president.

However, he did not reclaim his seat in Congress until a new Congress was sworn in on August 4, 2002. Although MAS collects only 4% of the vote in the poll, but the party was able to use its resources were limited to holding an imaginative and exciting campaign a lot of attention.
The party left the traditional campaign tactics by handing out T-shirts, baseball caps, calendars, and other political souvenirs. A television advertisement depicts a waiter Bolivia native Indian tribes appealed to the masses in order to vote according to conscience and not like what was ordered by the employer or boss. MAS reimburse government aid of approximately US $ 200,000 given to each political party.
In addition to utilizing displeasure of the people against the US presence and US Ambassador to Bolivia (Manuel Rocha) in particular, MAS also distributed a poster with a photo of Morales were great in the middle. On it was written: "Nation Bolivia: Decides you. Who is Mighty, Rocha or the Voice of the People?" letters big ones. The poster has a huge impact. Hundreds of thousands of posters printed.
None of the mainstream political party candidates who want to argue Bolivia with Morales. They mocked MAS as the "party of subsistence." He also said that it is not interested in arguing with them. "People want me to argue is Ambassador Rocha - I prefer to argue with the owner of the circus, not the clowns," he said to the media.
In a speech delivered in the presence of President Jorgue Quiroga, Rocha said,
"I want to remind voters Bolivia that if you elect those who want to make Bolivia the country of export cocaine principal again, it will threaten the help of the United States on the future of Bolivia."  in particular those who live in areas that are generally Altiplano is a native communities still flocking choose MAS. Bolivians gave 20.94% of the vote. The difference is only a few points behind the total votes obtained by the winning party. Afterwards, Morales said, "Every statement made Rocha to fight we actually have helped us grow and awaken the conscience of the people."

Being a strong opposition in Congress.

Because he refused to compromise, even some people considered to be extreme, Morales and MAS are not included in the coalition government. Coalition ultimately determine Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada) as president. Thus, under the leadership of Morales' MAS entered Congress as a strong opposition party.
Evo Morales and the MAS does not have a clear program, but it is clear who is opposed. He was a clever orator burning spirit. But the alternative proposal is less clear. However, Morales did not see much hope of government. He considers the government is corrupted from within and dimaniplasi from outside by foreign interests. For him, the most needed by the poor Bolivian campesinos are autonomous, equal opportunities, and access to land.
In response to the killing of seven protesters by the Armed Forces at the time of the Bolivian Gas War, the Bolivian Workers Union (COB) called a general strike indefinitely on Sept. 29, 2003. Morales and MAS refused to participate. They are more focused in an attempt to seize power in the elections of 2004. In the region of the 2002 general elections, he encouraged people to vote for the MAS. His comments were sharp from the United States ambassador earned him second place. Of course this is a surprise for the traditional parties. Morales nearly elected president. Thus unique event never happened before. It makes the indigenous community activists immediately became celebrities in the South American continent.

Election 2005.
Acceleration election.

Morales was involved in organizing the protests that continued in the capital in June 2005. Because of the pressure, eventually forced President Carlos Mesa to resign. As a result of the increasing sense of dissatisfaction and anxiety of the people, the Constitutional Congress of Bolivia and President Eduardo Rodriguez decided to speed up the election of 2007 to December 2005.
Carlos Mesa, was elected Vice President and served under President Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada resign twice although the first rejection by the Congress. He became president when Sanchez de Lozada was forced to resign in 2003. Both events folk revival is caused mainly due to the leadership of Morales, particularly after a nearly yearlong unofficially he participated as an ally in the government of President Mesa.
At a meeting of farmers who celebrated the 10th anniversary of MAS in March 2005, Morales declared that "MAS is ready to rule Bolivia," because the party has "consolidated its position as a political force [main] in this country." However, he acknowledged that "the problem is not again win the election, but how to govern this country."
Early opinion polls have put Morales and the Movement Towards Socialism in a balanced position with two other figures, the center and right-wing leader as well as an urban majority leader, Jorge Quiroga and Samuel Doria Medina, with little difference in the numbers. All this shows how difficult it is to guess the results of the presidential election of Bolivia 2005.
On August 21, 2005, Morales has chosen running mate for the presidential election in December 2005, a left-wing ideologue, sociologists, mathematicians, and political analyst, Alvaro García Linera, who fought side by side with Felipe Quispe as part of Ejercito Guerrillero Tupac Katari (EGTK).
On December 4, 2005, Morales constantly excel in various polls with about 32% of the vote. There are more than 100,000 election judges who have been sworn in as the country is preparing to hold elections on 18 December 2005.

Previous exit polls showed that he had usurped 42% -45% of the vote, well ahead of former president Jorge Quiroga. Quiroga himself has admitted defeat and congratulated Morales.
In Sunday's elections, Bolivia also elected a parliament or a new Congress and governors. According to Bolivia's electoral law, if no one candidate received 50% of the minimum amount of noise, then the election will not be followed by a second round, but the decision will be taken by the Congress.
On December 21, 2005, the electoral commission announced that Morales has been confirmed as the winner of the election. He obtained 54.3 percent of the vote with 93 percent of the vote counted, according to official results. His victory shows support of the people is greater than the previous presidents since democracy was restored in the country two decades ago. Once elected, he said he would cut in half the salary for the sake of expansion of employment.
The Morales government has received congratulations and political support from all the presidents in the region, as well as a number of European leaders and US President George W. Bush.

Ideology.
Morales outlines the driving force behind the MAS,

"The most evil enemy of humanity is capitalism. That is encouraging as we have experienced insurgency, rebellion against a system, against the neo-liberal model, which is a representation of a savage capitalism. If the entire world does not acknowledge this reality, that the national states do not provide even the most minimal needs of health, education, and nutrition to the people, then every day human rights are being violated the most fundamental. "
He once stated,
"... Ideological principles of the organization, anti-imperialist and contrary to neo-liberalism, clearly and firmly, but members still have to turn it into reality berprogram. "
Morales said the importance of the establishment of a Constituent Assembly to transform the state of Bolivia. He also proposed the formation of a law hydro-carbon new ones to ensure the 50% result for Bolivia, although MAS has also shown interest to nationalize total on Bolivian gas and oil industry.
Morales once expressed admiration towards indigenous Guatemalan activist, Rigoberta Menchu ​​Tum, and Fidel Castro. He was amazed to Castro for his opposition to the US. Morales also believe that the cocaine problem should be solved on the consumption side, not to regulate the coca plant, which is already legal in certain areas in Bolivia.
Morales ideology about drugs can be summarized in the words "the coca leaf is not a drug". In fact, chewing coca leaves has become a tradition for local communities (Aymara and Quechua) and the effect of the medicine is not as strong as caffeine found in coffee, but for many Bolivians who are poor is considered as the only way to work all day-for some that person could mean 15 to 18 hours a day. The practice of chewing coca leaf by the indigenous population in Bolivia has lasted over 1000 years and never caused the drug problem in their community. That is why Morales believes that the cocaine problem should be solved on the consumption side, not to eradicate coca plantations.
The Morales government sharply divided on the issue with the United States anti-drug legislation and cooperation between the two countries, but officials from both countries have expressed a desire to cooperate in eradicating drug trafficking. Sean McCormack of the US State Department strengthen support for the anti-drug policies of Bolivia, while Morales stated:
"We will implement a policy of zero cocaine, zero drug trafficking, but not zero coca. "

Because, in this visit he always wore simple clothes, that sort of leather jacket or clothing made with alpaca sweater (many traditional clothing materials made the Indians).
