Bolivia to Sanction
Rogue Governors
LA PAZ - The Bolivian
government has decided
to sanction the
authorities of regions
that carry out measures
of force that damage the
national economy, such
as roadblocks.
According to Vice
President Alvaro Garcia,
the opposition prefects
of Pando, Beni, Santa
Cruz, and Tarija will be
taken to court if they
support roadblocks that
affect the population.
Garcia recalled that on
Wednesday, those
leaders, grouped in the
so called National
Democratic Council (CONALDE)
also discussed the
possible taking of
plants distributing
natural gas to Brazil
and Argentina which, he
said, is an act of
vandalism.
Those measures intend to
thwart the popular
referendum for the
approval of the
Constitution, convened
by decree for December
7. |
