Bolivian president-elect Luis Arce
THOUSANDS of indigenous people, rural workers and miners are travelling to La Paz this weekend to “safeguard the smooth swearing-in of Luis Arce as president of Bolivia,” an indigenous-rights activist told the Morning Star today.
Miriam Amancay Colque of the Bartolina Sisa Resistance condemned a dynamite attack on the Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) headquarters in the capital on Thursday night while Mr Arce was there for a meeting.
“Paramilitary groups commit terrorist attacks under the protection of the dictatorial regime,” she warned.
