Crucial Week for
Bolivia, Constitution
LA PAZ - The week
starting today in
Bolivia is cardinal for
decisions the government
must adopt to face
popular sectors" demands
and approve through
decree a new Political
Constitution of the
State (CPE).
According to Sacha
Llorenti, Vice-Minister
for the Coordination
with Social Movements,
the executive must
respond that exigency
from the National
Coordinator for Change (CONALCAM),
arranged Sunday in
Cochabamba.
For leaders of the main
union groups, the new
Constitution, approved
in Oruro in December
2007, must also be
ratified at a popular
survey in 2009.
The CONALCAM, drawing
together several popular
sectors and the
government party
Movement Towards
Socialism, demanded in a
two-day meeting the
urgent refoundation of
the Andean country.
They requested President
Evo Morales to call a
national survey through
decree.
It also includes
electing sub-prefects,
departmental councils
and the new governors of
La Paz and Cochabamba,
whose authorities have
been revoked in the
August 10 referendum,
the group stated.
The measure responds to
threats from civic
committees of the
Crescent departments of
Tarija, Pando, Beni and
Santa Cruz, of closing
fuel valves demanding
incomes for the return
of the Direct Tax on
Hydrocarbons (IDH). |
