Evo Morales

About

Juan Evo Morales Ayma is a Bolivian statesman, trade union organizer, and former cocalero activist who served as the 65th President of Bolivia from 2006 to 2019. Widely regarded as the country's first president to come from its indigenous population, his administration focused on the implementation of leftist-Progressive policies, improving the legal rights and social and economic conditions of Bolivia's long marginalised indigenous majority and combating the political influence of the United States and resource-extracting multinational corporations. Ideologically a socialist, he has led the Movement for Socialism (MAS) party since 1998.
