'''Evo Morales''' is the [[president]] of [[Bolivia]]. He is Bolivia's first indigenous president, and the leader of the Movement for Socialism (MAS) party.
In Dec. 2009 President Evo Morales won a second term by a
landslide, with 61% of the vote; his Movement to Socialism party won a two-thirds majority in Congress. The result will allow him to implement a new constitution granting new rights to indigenous peoples and to strengthen state control over the economy, which conservatives have denounced as socialism similar to that of Chavez in [[Venezuela]].<ref> see [http://www.economist.com/displayStory.cfm?story_ID=15065929 '"Economist'' report]</ref>
