Miles and Miles of Protest in Bolivia as Miners and Unions March Against Privatization and Low Wages
Peasants’ unions and other groups are protesting a law that they say would allow corporate control of small farmers’ land, as well as fuel shortages and a low minimum wage.

An economic crisis and the repeal of a crucial gas subsidy, fuel shortages, and a law that opponents say will allow the encroachment of corporate interests on Indigenous and peasant lands are among the central concerns of thousands of miners and other workers who have joined a march from Bolivia’s northern Amazon territories to La Paz, with a major miners union in the capital joining the protest on Wednesday.

The Federation of Mining Cooperatives of La Paz and an influential peasant union met land workers and Indigenous representatives this week as they arrived in the capital after having marched 1,100 kilometers (683 miles) “for over 20 days from the tropics into freezing high-altitude terrain, many wearing nothing more substantial on their feet than plastic sandals,” as Olivia Arigho-Stiles reported at Jacobin.


At least 50 marchers required medical treatment last week for exhaustion, dehydration, and other ailments, but the unions are showing no sign of ending the general strike that was begun by Bolivian Workers’ Central (COB), with the mass mobilization also including at least 70 road blockades around the country, according to the Bolivia Highway Association.

TeleSUR reported that the entry of the miners union signified “a substantial increase in pressure” on right-wing President Rodrigo Paz, whose resignation some workers’ organizations are calling for.

The Federation of Mining Cooperatives joined the ongoing marches and protests after Paz failed to attend a scheduled dialogue. Miners have been alarmed by the scarcity of fuel, “a dire shortage of essential explosive material, and significant delays in the liberation of new areas designated for mining exploitation,” reported TeleSUR. ........................
