Morales receives rude awakening
“A wake-up call”. This was the succinct assessment of Bolivia’s President Evo Morales of nationwide protests in response to a police crackdown on indigenous supporters objecting to the construction of a road through the indigenous territory (Tioc) and national park, Isiboro Sécure (Tipnis) [WR-11-33]. Yet the political crisis triggered by the show of police repression and Tipnis dispute in general is arguably the biggest to face Morales and his Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) government since taking office in 2006.
