No nos ha dado nunca ni vergüenza, ni pena, ni miedo. Ni cuando no han matado compañerxs, ni cuando nos han amenazado, ni cuando la policía nos cae a palo, ni cuando un candidato presidencial mafioso amenaza con destriparnos. Luchamos por un mundo nuevo, y no nos avergüenza.
🇧🇴 🇺🇸 | Civil war-type scenes are emerging from Bolivia.
The government passed a law authorising US-backed President Rodrigo Paz to deploy the military against protesters.
Bolivian police and military forces have launched a joint operation to clear strike blockades in San Julián, Santa Cruz department, as a five-week general strike against neoliberalism continues to grip the country.
The crackdown came with full government backing — multiple ministers arrived for what was intended as a photo opportunity declaring victory over the movement.
Instead, entire communities mobilised, forcing security forces to retreat after more than four hours of sustained resistance on the highway.
The mobilisations, demanding the resignation of President Rodrigo Paz, have left at least ten people dead, 37 injured, and over a hundred facing prosecution, according to the Ombudsman's Office.
Meanwhile, in El Alto — the indigenous city encircling the capital — daily popular assemblies are being held where communities vote on strike strategy and assess the movement's progress. A new form of grass-roots democracy is taking shape on the streets.

Yo no les voy a decir “voten por quien crean, pero voten”. Si no van a votar por Cepeda no hagan ni mierda, boten esa cedula, malparidos. Suficiente sufrimiento es que el mejor panorama que tengamos sea la socialdemocracia, como para estar preocupados por desclasados hptas.
Indigenous leaders of La Paz, Bolivia: We don't want dialogue or negotiation with those who have our blood on their hands, we'll be at the barricades until the President is gone.
🙂 Uribe calificó a Iván Cepeda de "apache solapado", pero Cepeda le volteó el tablero de una: dijo que eso solo demuestra lo racista que es Uribe y le enseña al país su verdadera naturaleza. Y remató fresco: "Yo no me siento ni agraviado ni insultado".
¿Sigue vigente el paramilitarismo?
Desechar esta tesis porque las org. herederas del paramilitarismo no se expresan tal cual lo hicieron las AUC o porque la connivencia con el Estado no sea tan descarada, es un error imperdonable por varias razones ⬇️
