At an emergency meeting on Sunday to discuss the crisis, the presidents of nine Latin American countries gave Morales their full support, and offered to send a team to mediate. "The fundamental, legitimate basis of Bolivian democracy is the government of President Evo Morales and the territorial integrity of the country and that should not be questioned at any moment," read the declaration from Bolivia's neighbors.
