Evo Morales, seen before he was elected President in December 2005, rides on the shoulders of community leaders during a rally in his birth-town of Orinica. Self-proclaimed as Washington's "worst nightmare", Morales is a fierce nationalist who has allied himself with Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez and Cuba's Fidel Castro. In May he nationalized Bolivia's natural gas industry and is calling to "deregulate" coca production.
