I've taken the unusual step of simply cutting inaccurate cited material rather than providing greater context. This is because reported false rumors are still not encyclopedic and the so-called ban on Coca Cola is the result of an offhand remark from David Choquehuanca rather than a policy of the Evo Morales presidency, the subject of this article. The removed text is as follows:

Coca-Cola ban

On 21 December 2012, the Bolivian government will ban all Coca-Cola products from either being sold, manufactured, or consumed within its national borders. This comes at an attempt to change the ideology of the country from a Western-style capitalist democracy to a domestically engineered system based on communitarianism. By promoting healthy lifestyles through the locally produced fruit juice, Mocochinci, Bolivia intends to promote the economy of its nation in addition to neighboring Venezuela.^[1][2]

The entire thing was a misinterpretation. For an extensive run-down in Spanish, see for example here.--Carwil (talk) 21:39, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This page seems to only be updated up until 2012 and I believe it would be easier to merge it with the main Evo Morales page rather than add 7 years of content to it. I want to see what other people think of this. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 06:23, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
