The Party of the European Left condemns all violence that is taking place in
Bolivia


Statement of Obey Ament , member of the Latin America working group of the
EL: The people of Bolivia face a real <uprising of the powerful>. Since the
election of president Evo Morales, the most reactionary sectors of this
country try by all means, violence included, to defeat the reforms that the
Bolivian people need.

After having tried to decree the autonomy of the regions they control, the
right-wing with the support of the US, launched an offensive with as its aim
the destabilization of the country and the change of the democratically
elected government in 2005. 

The Party of the European Left condemns all violence that is taking place in
Bolivia, the destructions of public buildings and gaz installations as well
as the brutal repression used by the opposition regional governments against
the people's mobilization in favour of the progressive government of Evo
Morales. This repression has already made hundreds of wounded and tens of
deaths. 


The Party of the European Left calls the European Union to express its
condemnation of destabilization tentative happening in Bolivia that could
precipitate the country into a civil war and any external influence aiming
to violence and the questioning of a democratically elected government.
