A grassroots rebellion, expressed in most of the 2,400 delegates, defeated attempts by the leadership of the MAS to maintain control of the legendary FEJUVE of El Alto. Is the local organization that spearheaded the October 2003 uprising that toppled Sanchez de Losada neoliberal demanding nationalization without compensation of transnational oil, the main claim of the "Agenda of October. The FEJUVE their neighborhood committees organized the entire population of El Alto than one million inhabitants.
Congress de la FEJUVE, que con 4 delegados por cada una de las 600 juntas vecinales,  consideró que el gobierno del MAS es "colonial y oligárquico", exige expropiar a transnacionales retomando reclamos de la Agenda de Octubre, “luchar por sepultar al sistema capitalista” y resuelve apoyar a la marcha de los pueblos indígenas del oriente (CIDOB)  en su legítima demanda de autonomías indígenas.
Rebelión de las bases
Una verdadera rebelión de las bases derrotó al candidato del MAS y eligió a una mujer Fanny Nina de presidente (por primera vez una mujer preside la organización).
Among the resolutions cited by APA (Altena Press Agency) are:
"On the recommendation of the Committee on Organic, lawmakers pledged to fight to bury the current neoliberal capitalist system that allows few amass fortunes with environmental pollution. The current government demanded the repeal of Decree 21060 because it is against the interests of the Bolivian workers "(the decree" founder "of neoliberalism, which provides the flexibility of labor and the MAS government refused to repeal). The current government also require project implementation macros that allow the creation of jobs, including respect for freedom of expression.
"Because it is a commitment to the fallen during the October called Gas War, Congress of Neighborhood Councils of El Alto decided to reroute the Agenda of October to ensure compliance with the nationalization of hydrocarbons without any compensation paid to transnational corporations. "
"The Federation of Neighborhood Committees (FEJUVE) of the city of El Alto complaint to Vice President Alvaro Garcia Linera and blancoide environment by being an enemy of peasant and indigenous movement and is willing to demand the resignation of the current president of Bolivia State , Evo Morales, if not redirects his behavior, and that through their environment blancoide would have become the enemy of indigenous people and workers. "
urged the party authorities and operators in terms of central and municipal government not intrude more in social organizations of El Alto and Bolivia. The Policy Committee in time to report the preliminary agreements that established the presidents of neighborhood associations who attended the conference over their bases, argued that the election of Deputy Mayor proceed through direct secret ballot, without the intervention of the presidents boards.
The members of the Policy Committee decided to request a budget increase to the Public University of El Alto (UPEA). An important claim, since the UPEA is like "Cinderella" of the Bolivian universities with a tiny budget. Is because it is the university founded by the people and workers of El Alto, which was very important part of the "gas war" and the statute provides for student choice of rector.
Congress addressed the issue of water in the municipality of El Alto demanding the creation of the Water Directorate in order to ensure that basic service provision and that is poor and tends to be more critical in the future as a result global warming. Established that it has to promote the construction of new water sources in order to improve the supply. According to the report of that commission, the address must be created by the current administration of the municipality that is under the leadership of Mayor Edgar Patana (MAS), has to work for the improvement of drinking water and sewage system, considered view that the Social State Company for Water and Sanitation (Epsas) pays insufficient attention that is generated from the CEO and the board of the entity. It decided to require strict social control of the direction of the company Epsas) exercised by the Fejuve. It also requires storm and sanitary sewer and paving of streets and avenues. Why
rebellion
Rise of the bases of the FEJUVE, defeating the candidate of the MAS and the harsh criticism of the government of Evo Morales expressed a deep social unrest. In the last elections for governors and mayors, MAS lost a million votes (a third of the electorate) and El Alto, while the MAS won a mayor, that decline was more than 50% over the presidential elections (the MAS from 82% to 40% of the vote). Popular discontent has its rationale in the MAS government, now with two thirds of the legislative bodies, not only does not advance to solve the serious social problems, but in some respects there are setbacks. The nationalization of oil was not such, but only a significant increase taxes on corporations. But the multinationals continue to control production and own Evo Morales, during his visit to Spain, has emerged as an "example" to Repsol. With this control, multinationals continue to plunder the economy, taking the gas without industrialization. Worse still is in mining where transnational corporations like San Cristobal, the largest zinc mine in the world, get 1000 million dollars a year and only provides $ 35 million in taxes, without even paying the huge amount of water consumed in a region with severe water shortages.
in May was the rebellion of the workers for wages, with strikes by teachers and factory reject the miserable 5% who gave the government in a context in which the wages of the vast majority of workers does not cover even half the basket and is held in miserable purchasing power it had in times of neoliberal Goni.
pacts with the right Santa Cruz and English imperialism and the Brazilian sub-imperialism are increasingly visible to the people. So the definition of the majority of Congress FEJUVE is a government that "colonial and oligarchic "is not an outburst, but a finding based on government actions.
The march of the CIDOB
FEJUVE Congress, as noted above, resolves to support the progress of the CIDOB (Central Eastern Bolivia Indigenous, which is the principal indigenous organization in eastern DRC) who go walking from the East to La Paz (1,000 km), to claim a real territorial autonomy with its own funds, economic resources directly from the TGN to the people as it is the constitutional mandate. This support of the whole of Congress delegates CIDOB FEJUVE the fact itself is a hugely important policy.
But the government negotiated with the rightwing Santa Cruz governor Ruben Costas autonomous funds go to departments and then they supposedly derive indigenous autonomy. Evo Morales also negotiated with the governor Costas, the core of the oligarchy agro-terra-petro-latinfundista, credit and support for road construction Bioceanic favoring Brazil and exit of goods to Chile as the Bureau disseminated 18 of the Peoples' Summit on Climate Change.
As he did with the strikes in manufacturing and teachers in May, the government, which disrespects the autonomy Indian, now says that the progress of the CIDOB is orchestrated by imperialism, in this case USAID.
The government launched a brutal media campaign to discredit the march of CIDOB. The official drew a racist caricature of Uncle Sam putting a puppet driving like an Indian in which he says CIDOB.
But the march was supported by the CONAMAQ, the largest indigenous organization in the highlands and the country, and all Members elected by indigenous districts that are 8.
worth noting that both were CIDOB CONAMAQ as part of the "Pact of Unity" (with the organization of rural women Bartolina Sisa, the peasant CSUTCB and Federations of the Chapare region, coca growers) who were founding and support of MAS.
Join the struggle, workers, peasants, neighborhood, indigenous
The Revolutionary Neighborhood Block of El Alto and the group's protest had been proposing, the main resolutions adopted by the Congress of the FEJUVE and delegates elected in districts were part of the majority who starred in the Rise of the bases.
Carlos Rojas, leader of the Revolutionary Neighborhood Block, highlighted the great success that mean FEJUVE Congress resolutions. "These resolutions should begin fulfilled. The new address should redirect the struggle for the Agenda of October and if this is true, if we expelled and to transnational confiscated, it will be an economic, political and social in favor of the majority so far have been deceived by all governments including the present. I also noted support for the progress of the CIDOB. It is essential to achieve unity of social organizations, all our demands and FEJUVE can play an important role in this call for unity against a government policy that well describes the resolution of colonial and oligarchic.
