La Paz, October 19 (RHC)-- The Central Obrera Boliviana (COB) and the popular organizations of that nation that make up the Unity Pact expressed their support for the government of President Luis Arce and declared themselves in a state of emergency to defeat destabilizing actions of the right wing.
Representatives of these sectors met with Arce and the country's vice president, David Choquehuanca, at the Casa Grande del Pueblo. There, they read an evaluation of the government's performance one year after the victory of the Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) in the elections of October 2020.
Referring to this period of work at the head of the country, the executive secretary of the National Confederation of Indigenous Peasant Women of Bolivia "Bartolina Sisa", Flora Aguilar, highlighted the economic and social achievements.
The social leader recognized "the reconstruction of the country's economic stability and the political and social stability led by our national government." She added that "it shows a real change and improvement in the quality of life of Bolivians, after suffering a destructive and plundering coup d'état."
Based on these realities, "the national and departmental organizations of the country ratify the declaration of state of emergency against any destabilizing attempt of the fascist right wing of our country," he stressed.
Aguilar also expressed that the organizations agreed to maintain and deepen the unity of the people around the national government, as a weapon to guarantee stability, work and development.
This thesis was endorsed by the executive secretary of the COB, Juan Carlos Huarachi, who valued the unity of the people as a fundamental weapon to stop the destabilization attempts, which are registered from the department of Santa Cruz, he said.
Huarachi declared that unity will bring forward a country that "has been plundered, outraged, humiliated with acts of racism and discrimination". In his speech, Arce thanked the popular organizations for their approval of his administration and ratified that they will continue with the reconstruction of the national economy.
This morning a march of relatives of the victims of the massacres of Sacaba (November 15, 2019) and Senkata (19) departed from the town of Caracollo (department of Oruro) to La Paz. The participants are traveling the 192 km stretch in demand of justice for those killed in both communities during the violent repression by security forces against protesters opposed to the coup d'état of November 2019.
