Bolivia has accused the Bush administration of working to undermine its democratically elected government. On Wednesday, Presidential Minister Juan Ramón de la Quintana said the White House is not cooperating with Bolivia and instead fostering destabilization.

Ramón de la Quintana: “We want to say, in the most respectful, firm and responsible way, that if the United States does not adjust to the policies of the Bolivian government, then the doors are open (to leave). We are not going to permit one day more in which this form of 'cooperation' pollutes our democracy, conspires against the right of our people or offends our national dignity.”

Earlier this week, Bolivian Vice President Álvaro García Linera accused the U.S. embassy of financing opposition groups to President Evo Morales.
