Editing of Econoticiasbolivia com

The Peace, January 25, 2004.- The main actors of the popular rebellion of October have returned to flow in the fight against the neoliberalism. The "Mallku" Felipe Quispe, leader of the peasants of the Altiplano, and the executive of the Central Laborer of The High one, Roberto of the Cross, have accepted the assembly of the Central Working Bolivian (COB) to prepare in 20 days a general strike and the blockade of roads with the one that the popular and social sectors want to fold al neoliberal government of Carlos Table and to close the Parliament......

HISTORY REPEATEDLY

To the radical nature of the COB, the impetuous rural position has followed it. "If the COB determines to close the Parliament, then we are going to buy large padlocks or if not to chicotazo clean we close it, that is not no problem, but that this be a measure of men with pants and do not be of maricones that only launch threats or speeches and then in practice not to have swum and therefore the support is lost", assured the radical "Mallku".

Of the Cross, of the rebellious population of The High one, himself has not remained short and has ratified the orders that throws since the assumption of Table to the Presidency, al that qualifies as perpetuator of the neoliberal politics of Sánchez of Lozada and to be a docile instrument of the transnational, of the U.S. Embassy and of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Also it has it sworn al Congress, dominated in their two thirds by parliamentary that are militants of the neoliberal parties and of right, that cogobernaron with the previous state.

POPULAR ASSEMBLY
"We want a Popular Assembly because is the mechanism to revert the poverty, because we will change the structure of this economic model by another that be more humane, more social and not as now that the system is murderer", the leader said of the COB, Crecencio Pounds, according to order a morning localities. "If the Government does not respond satisfactorily at least al 75 percent of the sheet of the workers, the plan of the Constituent Assembly will be in motion", notified Crusher.

DEMANDS
As opposed to the labor sectors, the parliamentary obtained at the beginning of year an indirect increase in its diets of around thousand dollars, situation questioned by the population, increasingly disappointed of its to drive little efficient, highly unproductive, extremely corrupt and without dignity. The last public accusation, carried out by the representative Roxana Sandoval, indicates that the parliamentary received monthly of the government of Sánchez of Lozada a contribute secret and illegal of 2.000 dollars to approve specific laws and resolutions.



THE ELECTORAL WAY
"I call al Moral companion to reflect (...) He has changed a great deal since is in the Parliament", he added the leader of the COB, that does not believe that the municipal elections of end of year and the presidential for the 2007 be going to change radically the destiny of Bolivia and the workers, as maintains the leader of the BUT.

A year ago and medium, the cocalero Moral obtained the second place in the very nearby, presidential voting al first, and since that date has the conviction that will obtain the presidency by means of the electoral way, for which has subordinate all its to drive politician to that possibility. Up to now it has offered their support al government of Table, to weigh that this complies faithfully with the economic program agreed with the IMF, continues with the compulsory eradication of cook them and maintains standing the laws that offer the property of the gas and the petroleum to the transnational.
