Bolivia Opposition Manipulation Denounced
Bolivian Vice President Alvaro Garcia has accused the opposition of using different social sectors to make a counter-drive to create conflict during the electoral campaign for the December general elections.
Garcia mentioned two concrete incidents: the protest by those differently
abled and the road blockage by farmers and ranchers in Yacuiba town in Tarija,
Cambio daily informed.
Both incidents clearly corroborated that "there is manipulation with
political goals," he asserted.
The vice president noted the Executive has the responsibility of coping with
legal popular petitions, but the opposition "is pushing some groups to
make up demands to generate conflict and tension in the country."
Regarding that, he affirmed the Plan Progreso para Bolivia-National
Convergencia (PPB-CN) faction is encouraging the protests of differently abled
people, as its leader Jaime Estivariz is the candidate for that party.
"He is a candidate making political campaign through mistreatment and sacrifice
of noble people," Garcia regretted.
That situation was confirmed on Wednesday by President of La Paz' Federation of
the Differently Abled Teclo Gonzales, who said Estivariz used the collected
signatures to ask for a governmental bond of nearly $430 to run as PPB-CN candidate.
