Report from the roadblocks in El Alto near Ventilla area...

The COB leadership betrayed the struggle
The government is now deploying the military
to break up the blockades

Down with the COB's infamous pact with pro-US government of Rodrigo Paz, which endorses the state of emergency imposed by the government!

Down with the state of siege!

Enough of the murderous generals!
Soldiers' committees that refuse to repress the people and drench them in blood once again!

National Coordinating Committee of the blockades, grassroots delegates of the unions, and the peasant movement!

Assemblies to reject the betrayal of the COB leaders and expel them from the unions for union misconduct and strike-breaking scabs!

Military police and motorized police clear roadblocks on the road to Oruro
In the Ventilla area, the motorized and military police, along with military units, took control of the road to Oruro and forced out the neighbors who were protesting their presence.
This is how the infamous pact between the Argollo bureaucracy and the COB (Bolivian Workers' Center) with the murderous government of Rodrigo Paz is imposed.

As the residents of Ventilla state...

“We will continue fighting for the resignation of Paz, and this incompetent government.”
“Argollo and the COB have sold out.”
The corrupt leaders of the COB who made a pact with the government to surrender the nation and repress workers and peasants must be expelled.
The pact of surrender between the COB and the murderous government of Paz, which is sustained by the police and the caste of Banzerist officers under the command of the US imperialism, must be defeated.
