Luis Arce Sworn In as New Bolivian President, as Supporters Await Return of Evo Morales
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Bolivia, former President Evo Morales is expected to reenter the
country this morning following the inauguration of new President Luis
Arce in La Paz Sunday. Arce won the presidential election last month by
a landslide, putting Morales's MAS party back in power one year after a
right-wing coup ousted Morales. Arce served as the economy minister
under Morales. This is Arce speaking at his inauguration.

President Luis Arce: "We assume this mandate given to us by the
population, the people, to work tirelessly and with humility for the
reconstruction of our country. We commit ourselves to rectify what was
wrong and to deepen what was right."
