La Paz, November 27 (RHC)-- The Central Obrera Boliviana (COB) invited all affiliates and non-affiliates to participate this Monday in the great concentration that will begin in the Apacheta, in the city of El Alto, heading to the Plaza Mayor de San Francisco in the city of La Paz as the culmination of the March for the Homeland, in support of the government of President Luis Arce.

The union leader added that the march for the Homeland also seeks that the Prosecutor's Office, pushes to obtain justice for the victims of the massacres of Senkata, Sacaba and others that occurred after the coup that enthroned Jeanine Áñez, in 2019.

Similarly, he said that the march shows the unity of social organizations, sectors at the national level, affiliated and unaffiliated that walk together with the leader of MAS-IPSP, Evo Morales, to defend Luis Arce, David Choquehuanca and the vote of the people expressed at the polls in 2020.

Five days ago, the march of the social and indigenous movements, support bases of the government of Luis Arce, began and has been advancing towards the capital without security incidents and receiving the support of the populations through which they have passed.
