Morales back in Bolivia after plane drama over Snowden

Bolivian President Evo Morales came home a hero's welcome Wednesday night, said some European countries refused to allow his plane to enter its airspace, because it carried fugitive suspected U.S. spy agency contractor Edward Snowdon is a provocation aimed at all South America.
Morales greeted by his cabinet and cheering, fist pumping crowd at La Paz airport, a dramatic journey from Moscow, lit diplomatic stir when his plane had to make Tuesday night unscheduled stop in Vienna.
"This is a step in a continent, not just a brazen challenge to the president," Morales said, his hair scattered with traditional Andean garb who throws petals. "North American imperialism and the person using it to intimidate and terrorize us, I just want to say, they will not scare us, because we are a person's dignity and sovereignty."
Other Latin American leaders are also fuming at the collision incident, the heads of 12 countries in South America Group UNASUR condemned "the unfriendly and unfair behavior.
The group represents a group of Member States leaders will hold an emergency summit in Bolivia last Thursday to discuss the matter. UNASUR include close leftist allies in Bolivia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Argentina, as well as more centrist governments like those in Chile and Brazil.
Earlier Wednesday, Bolivia accused the United States tried to "kidnap" Morales, was rejected, his plane flew over France and Portugal permissions.
The Bolivian government said it had made a formal complaint with the United Nations and was studying to prove that their rights have been violated international law and other legal means.
Bolivian Ambassador to the United Nations, Sasha Llorente Soliz, said, "We have no doubt that this is an order from the White House. Should never be a diplomatic plane with the president diverted from its course and was forced to land in other countries."
The White House declined to comment on allegations of Bolivia.
Snowden is not on the plane when it landed in Vienna, Austria officials said. He is considered one of the Moscow airports and the United States has been trying to get its hands on him, because he was last month revealed details of its secret surveillance program stranded in transit lounges.
Fanaticism is a legend, controversial privacy rights and the balance between national security and the latest twist. European countries accuse the United States to monitor the trans-Atlantic relationship is strained.
France said on Wednesday that the EU and free trade negotiations between the United States should be delayed two weeks to media reports, the tension stems from the case of Snowdon, the Group of 28 in Washington is spying.
U.S. President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel (Angela Merkel) Wednesday agreed to in the coming days, the U.S. reconnaissance activities and security issues between the security officials.
"NO ONE ELSE ON BOARD"
Evo Morales of Bolivia plane an energy conference in Moscow from home, when it landed at Vienna airport. Austrian Vice-Chancellor Michael Shiping De Roger said Morales himself denied Snowdon is to take his plane, and agreed to voluntary testing.
"Based on this invitation from Bolivia, colleagues boarded the plane, looking at everything, there are no other people on board," Shiping De Roger told reporters.
But the Bolivian Defense Minister Ruben Saavedra said Morales' plane is not search because Morales Austrian authorities had refused to enter.
Morales plane finally left Vienna and landed in the Spanish Canary Islands, before refueling back to Bolivia.
UN Secretary-General said in a statement, understanding the Bolivian government's concern and urged the countries to discuss the matter.
The Obama administration has said that allowing Snowden landed on its territory by foreign governments could seriously damage its relations with the United States, the United States and European countries, security sources said.
The sources said Snowden has applied for asylum, refuse or fail to respond to his country's bid to persuade the government that such lobbying played a certain role. The United States believes its diplomacy also attracted national leaders in private, public sympathy Snowdon having second thoughts on the matter, they said.
French Foreign Ministry spokesman accused the incident, "the chief accident," saying that the French never intended to prohibit its airspace Morales confirmed there is a delay, the aircraft flying in the license.
International agreement to allow China to use the aircraft before each flight over the country without obtaining permission. But the state aircraft, including Air Force One carrying U.S. President, must be cleaned before they cross the border into foreign territory.
Asked to explain
Treatment of Bolivian military aircraft hit a nerve, in Latin America, there is the history of US-backed coup.
In a statement, the Government of Peru, holds the group's presidency, UNASUR expressed anger and indignation, that the plane was allowed to land in Portugal and France.
Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa, "Latin America needs an explanation," tweeted. "If what happened Evo is not worth a UNASUR summit, I do not know what to do."
Bolivian capital La Paz, the U.S. Embassy said late on Wednesday its independence of the National Party last Thursday has been postponed "until further notice."
Bolivia is seeking asylum in Snowden has more than a dozen countries and Morales said he would consider granting U.S. asylum. But he said earlier this week that no request has been made.
30-year-old Snowdon National Security Agency, who served as a contractor in Hawaii, June 23, has been trying to find a country that will provide shelter him from the prosecution of espionage in the United States.
But his choice has narrowed since he arrived in Hong Kong without valid travel documents in Moscow, the United States revoked his passport.
Snowdon five countries refuse to grant asylum, seven said they would consider a request if on its territory, eight said, but they either did not make a decision or did not receive a request.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is willing to send Snowdon to the United States, Russia is no extradition treaty. But he is not willing to damage the relationship of a man for whom, Putin's former KGB spy, has little sympathy.
