Bolivian President Evo Morales Tuesday continued a tour of his country and distributed money Venezuela provided under cooperation agreements among a number of mayors, official sources said, thus unleashing opposition claims that the Bolivian ruler is campaigning for his reelection in 2008.
Morales, together with some Cabinet members, Tuesday visited the Amazon town of Trinidad, following a visit Monday to Cobija, where he distributed checks for USD 100,000 and 150,000 amounting to USD 1.7 million.
According to local press reports, the figure Morales allocated in Cobija is only 40 percent of the funds he intends to invest in 30,000 inhabitants Pando, over the border with Brazil.
Resources "come from cooperation with the Government of Venezuela" to invest in education, healthcare, public works and sports venues, the official Bolivian Information Agency reported.
