Bolivianas

21 January 2010

Menschen versammeln sich am Tag des Amtsantritts von Präsident Morales zu einer traditionellen Zeremonie vor den heiligen Ruinen des antiken Stadtstaates Tiwanaku, am Titicacasee. In Bolivien leben etwa 36 Eingeborenenvölker. Sie stellen die Mehrheit der Bevölkerung und werden dennoch seit der Kolonialzeit marginalisiert und diskriminiert. Der Präsident des Landes, Evo Morales, das erste Indígena-Staatsoberhaupt Boliviens, ist Führer der sozialistischen Partei, die sich seit Langem für die Integration der Eingeborenen einsetzt.

Tiwanaku, Bolivia

People gather at the sacred ruins of the ancient city state Tiwanaku, beside Lake Titicaca, for a traditional ceremony on President Morales’ inauguration day. Bolivia is home to some 36 indigenous groups, who, although a majority in the population, have suffered marginalization and discrimination since colonial times. The country’s president, Evo Morales, the first indigenous Bolivian to hold that office, is leader of the Movement towards Socialism party, whose long-held goal has been the integration of indigenous communities into national life. President Morales enjoys considerable popularity. In 2009, he was elected for a second term in office with 64 percent of the vote.

Bolivia es el hogar de 36 grupos indígenas los cuales, a pesar de ser mayoría poblacional, han sufrido marginalización y discriminación desde la época colonial. Evo Morales, presidente del país, el primer mandatario indígena, es líder del Movimiento al Socialismo, cuyo objetivo fundamental ha sido la integración de las comunidades indígenas en la vida nacional. La gente se reúne en las ruinas sagradas de la antigua ciudad estado de Tiahuanaco, al lado del lago Titicaca, para celebrar una ceremonia tradicional sobre el día inaugural de Morales.

 

Une foule réunie sur les ruines sacrées de l’ancienne cité-État Tiwanaku, près du lac Titicaca, pour une cérémonie traditionnelle, le jour de l’investiture du président Morales. En Bolivie vivent environ 36 groupes indigènes qui, bien que majoritaires, sont marginalisés et discriminés depuis l’époque coloniale. Le président Evo Morales, le premier indigène bolivien devenu président, est le leader du parti du Mouvement vers le socialisme (MAS), dont l’objectif depuis est l’intégration des communautés indigènes dans la société.

La gente si riunisce presso le rovine sacre dell’antica città-stato Tiwanaku sul lago Titicaca, per una cerimonia tradizionale nel giorno dell’insediamento del presidente Morales. In Bolivia vivono circa 36 gruppi indigeni che, pur costituendo la maggioranza della popolazione, sono stati emarginati e discriminati sin dall’epoca coloniale. Il presidente, Evo Morales, primo nativo a ricoprire questa carica in Bolivia, è il leader del partito Movimento al Socialismo, che da lungo tempo mira all’integrazione delle comunità indigene nella vita del paese.

Mensen komen bijeen bij de gewijde ruïnes van de oude stadstaat Tiwanaku, op de oever van het Titicacameer, voor een traditionele plechtigheid op de inauguratiedag van president Morales. De ruim 36 inheemse groepen van Bolivia vormen weliswaar een meerderheid van de bevolking, maar lijden al sinds de koloniale periode onder marginalisatie en discriminatie. President Evo Morales is de eerste inheemse Boliviaan die dit ambt bekleedt. Hij is leider van de partij Beweging naar Socialisme, die van oudsher het ideaal van integratie van de inheemse groepen in de nationale gemeenschap koestert. 

Народ собирается у руин старинного города-государства Тиванаку у берега озера Титикака на традиционную церемонию в день инаугурации президента Моралеса. В Боливии проживает 36 различных коренных народностей, составляющих вместе большинство населения страны. Тем не менее со времен колониальной зависимости они подвергались маргинализации и дискриминации. Президент страны Иво Моралес – первый коренной боливиец на этом посту. Он является лидером партии «Движение к социализму», цель которой – интеграция всех малых народностей в жизнь страны.
