Without the support of the 20 provinces of La Paz, the leadership of the red ponchos resumed their protests in search of enforcing the agenda that they have pending with the Government. This Monday, while the deputies review the Law for the Census, the red ponchos will flood the city of La Paz to vindicate their list of petitions pending with the Government.
“To the cantonal executives of the 34 agrarian centrals, sub-centrals, general secretaries of the Ancoraimes sub-federation and bases of the glorious single union federation of peasant workers of the Omasuyos province-“red ponchos”, to the march in defense, respect and the immediate attention of our specifications petition of 41 points”, indicates the statement of this organization.
Add that concentration It will be this Monday at 07:00 in La Ceja de El Altowhich is the entrance to the city of La Paz, the call time means that the peasants of the highlands of La Paz will be at approximately 10:00 in the center of the city.
Wednesday, October 5, was the last time that the red ponchos arrived in a march to the city of La Paz and tried to enter Plaza Murillo, but they were gassed by the police. A week later, the President summoned them to the Casa Grande del Pueblo where a meeting was held due to the harsh language used by the peasants against the first two presidents.
The meeting of the President with all the communities of the Omasuyos province It was agreed for October 29 in Achacachi, home of the red ponchos, however, the Head of State never arrived to the meeting and the peasants called all their organizations to protest. That mobilization will be fulfilled this Monday.
The “commander” of the red ponchos, Ruddy Condori, had asked for the support of the Tupac Katari peasant federation that brings together the 20 provinces of La Paz. This demand was raised in the march on October 5, since then did not receive any support from the departmental federation and now the ponchos fight alone for their agenda.
Instead, the Government once again appealed to the union parallelism that it has practiced since the administration of Evo Morales and the leader affiliated with the Government, Ovidio Mamani, was installed as an executive of the new Cordillera Lake Regional Federation of the Omasuyos Province, and declared the group led by Ruddy Condori “outlawed”.
