Why are the protestors against the export of natural gas? I had that same question
To: Teacher317
The Indians and their Euro-elitist-academia-inelligentsia-Che-wannabe leaders say that gas exports through the new proposed pipeline would produce revenues unlikely to reach the average Boliviano.....not a stretch admittedly.
They are also against building a pipeline thru either Peru or Chile both historical foes...Chile in particular.
The more Gaia-worshipping radical elements also claim some indig fascination with touting coca as Bolivia's true export as being more in tune with "native tradition" and more "eco-friendly"...lol...Bolivia's coca money ends up primarily in the hands of Colombian drug lords...a point they apparently overlook in Bolivian political theory circles.
Typical marxist indigenous masses versus oligarchs Latin American fare.
I see no answers here....aside from a benevolent dictator.
