In Bolivia, life is slowly returning to normal after almost a month of demonstrations. Thousands of mainly indigenous people—from poor peasant farmers to miners have been demanding nationalisation of the country’s gas industry and calling for constitutional reform. The protesters are angry at what they see as the exploitation of Bolivia natural resources by foreign companies and governments. There’s a long history of the country’s rich natural resources being exploited by foreigners with little financial reward for the population, 60 per cent of whom are native residents. Many now hope the new president, Eduardo Rodriguez, may find a solution to the country’s problems. Rebecca Hampson has been visiting La Paz and witnessed the protests.
"Put your hands over your ears!" shouted the boy in the hotel. A gang of miners was marching past the front door letting off sticks of dynamite as they went. A few minutes later the sting of police tear gas seeped under the door frame. That was three and a half weeks ago, then no one imagined that the protests and gradual shutting down of the country would last this long.
"It’ll all calm down in a few days", people kept telling us. But we decided to avoid any further trouble and escaped, on what turned out to be one of the last buses, to Sorata, a small town in the beautiful Cordillera Real mountains. Two weeks later the whole country had been paralysed by road blocks, and the only way we could get back to La Paz was to join a convoy of protestors. Arrangements were made the night before with an official from the local Aymara—the largest indigenous group in Bolivia. "You’ll need to disguise yourselves with scarves and hats so that our brothers at the road blockades don’t question you," he told us,"and be here in the square at 4:30 in the morning." I had no idea how I, with my rosy complexion and short hair, could be mistaken for an Aymara woman with their bowler hats, long plaits and bright skirts with padded hips! But it was an offer we gratefully accepted.
Next morning we were eventually bundled into the back of a crowded bus. The few words of Aymara we’d picked up went down very well with our fellow passengers and the journey passed in jovial Spanish conversation. Eduardo, a high school teacher, explained how the local council leader had designated representatives from every organisation—schools, hospitals, farms, tour agencies, etc.—to go to La Paz to march. There was a long list of names, and anyone extra trying to sneak onto the buses would be kicked off. This list might also be checked at any of the numerous blockades between Sorata and La Paz. Our presence on the bus put everyone’s integrity as dedicated protestors at risk so the warm welcome we received showed real generosity. Eduardo and his friends were very keen to start marching. "It’s the only way to get the government to listen to us," they all said. They had two main demands—first: nationalisation of Bolivia’s oils and gas reserves "so that we can keep the revenue ourselves to improve health, education and reduce poverty". Second: a change in the constitution "to give equal rights and opportunities to us".
