The Cuban activist Rosa María Payá, promoter of the Cuba Decide project and a member of the OAS Human Rights Council, attended the inauguration of the new president of Bolivia, Rodrigo Paz Pereira, this Saturday in La Paz, where she met with international delegations invited to the official ceremony.
In his account on X (formerly Twitter), Payá expressed his gratitude to the Bolivian leader: “I thank President @RodrigoPazBo for inviting me to his inauguration on this historic day for Bolivia. Congratulations, Mr. President, on this victory for democracy and hope for the Bolivian people.”
During his inaugural speech, Rodrigo Paz proposed a "National Bicentennial Agreement" aimed at transforming the Bolivian state and “rebuilding public ethics,” in a message focused on reconciliation, international openness, and the defense of freedom.
"Bolivia has a historic opportunity. For the first time in many years, we have the conditions to undertake the deep reforms that the country needs," stated the new president before the Plurinational Legislative Assembly.
The leader outlined an ambitious program based on five pillars: judicial, economic, and productive reform, public ethics, educational and technological transformation, and environmental strengthening.
"We will defend our rivers, our forests, and our glaciers. No more divorce between growth and nature. This will be the green government, the government of innovation, science, technology, and the future," promised Paz.
In international matters, Paz announced that Bolivia "will return to the world with its head held high" and emphasized that its foreign policy will be "sovereign and free from ideological ties," focused on mutual respect and cooperation.
The message from the new president concluded with a deeply emotional and patriotic tone, recalling the legacy of the founders of the republic and their commitment to national reconstruction.
The participation of Rosa María Payá, an international figure of the Cuban opposition, strengthens her role in Latin American political spaces and her commitment to the fight for democracy and human rights in Cuba and the region.
