The indefinite strike in Tarija will go into an intermission room until next week after the march that is organized for this afternoon, leaders of the Committee for Interests anticipated.
Roberto Márquez, president of the Mobilization Committee, confirmed that the decision will be ratified at the demonstration and in solidarity with the municipality of Bermejo, which has been affected by forest fires for days.
“We cannot be indifferent to this situation in Bermejo,” said Márquez, after the civic leadership meeting that he held until noon.
In turn, the civic director, Jesús Gira, mentioned that the fourth intermission of the indefinite strike will be until the call to the Assembly of Institutions next week.
The leader indicated that in that session They will determine if they resume the indefinite strike or they are inclined to another measure to insist that the Population and Housing Census be carried out in the last quarter of 2023.
For this afternoon’s march, the civic leadership plans two exits, one from the Eustaquio “Moto” Méndez roundabout and the other from the Church of La Loma de San Juan to culminate in the Plaza Luis de Fuentes y Vargas.
“We hope to have a good amount of the population of Tarija which has become aware of the demand by the census,” said Márquez.
On the other hand, on the fifth day of the indefinite strike more than 20 points of street blockades were reported and avenues in the city of Tarija that hindered the transit of buses, truffis and private vehicles.
The Departmental Federation of Motor Transport, one of the members of the Committee for Interests, did not join the protest measure and opted for his associates to continue with public service.
