The former President of Bolivia, Evo Morales, today presented the RUNASUR’s Decalogue, as a set of guiding principles for this mechanism of plurinational integration between indigenous peoples, Afro-descendants, social organisations, trade unions, territorial and social movements in the region. RUNASUR, created by self-convocation, aims to resolve the historical debt that the peoples of the region face in a context of economic, social, cultural and, above all, life crisis.
The Decalogue is as follows:
Our destiny…
PLURINATIONAL AMERICA
Sisters, brothers, peoples of Abya Yala:
We are experiencing multiple crises in the world, it is time for unity, to build and forge our Plurinational America, our identity with dignity. Therefore, from the South of the continent, we propose a Decalogue to guide our path, our Qhapaq Ñan.
1. Let us defend the Self-Determination of the Peoples. Plurinational America fights against all forms of domination, against interference and racism, to consolidate the self-determination and identity of the peoples. We propose the process of reconstruction and re-foundation of the States where the primordial thing is not capital or excessive consumption, but human beings and nature, where governments are of the peoples and for the peoples, a State without discrimination or classes.
2. Let us strengthen democracy, human rights and collective rights. Plurinational America is the expression of plurality and recognises all democracies that respond to the will and sovereign exercise of the peoples. We promote full respect for the individual rights men and women who live in our vast territory, as well as the collective rights of indigenous peoples and/or Afro-descendants. We promote dialogue among peoples, under common principles that allow us to build an alliance to articulate joint processes that strengthen our voices. We must make freedom of expression emancipatory so that the truth of the people can speak.
3. Let us strengthen the Integration of the Peoples. Plurinational America is the expression of the indigenous movements, the different social and workers’ sectors, with political-ideological clarity, principles and values that have been our instruments of resistance and struggle since colonial times. The integration of our peoples is unity with solidarity as a bloc of struggle, defense and vindication of our historical rights. Our purpose is to strengthen the integration organisations in order to consolidate our unity as a movement that promotes the liberation of the peoples of Latin America, the Caribbean and the world.

To anyone who imagines Evo Morales is a hotheaded reactionary, do yourself a proper favor and start researching what has been happening to ALL people of color in Latin America and the Caribbean, and North America in the last 500 years. It is essential. Don't take the word of strangers, start educating yourself, do it if you respect life itself. You can't love anything, anyone if you don't respect the truth.
