Despite the understanding, the municipality and the social organizations maintain latent threat of new mobilizations in case of non-compliance by the departmental authorities. Gutiérrez announced that he will go to the government of President Luis Arce (MAS) to finance the projects due to the “weaknesses” he found in the Governor’s Office.

“I thank those who have come with real problems according to our competence. This gives Santa Cruz a great relief that they could have yielded as they have done by making this agreement viable, Camacho said.
“In the event that you fail to comply with this commitment to our municipal government, unfortunately we are going to get up again”, affirmed Juan Peñaranda, leader of the intercultural groups of Cuatro Cañadas.
