According to Bolivia TV (BTV), the properties allegedly subjugated belong to the Canelas farm.
“They were notified, they knew that they did not have to make new improvements, new innovations, subdivisions, transfers,” Mita said.
Some of those affected tried to justify their presence in the place. According to the testimonies, those involved mention that they have lived in the area for several years since they would have acquired the land a decade ago.
Three trucks carried the belongings of the families evicted. They were previously inventoried and loaded onto the vehicles, with the presence of notaries to control the transfer.
