Ministers Sacha Llorenti and Carlos Romero are the “Pilates” of the day, they claim they were not responsible for the violent police brutality against the TIPNIS protest-walk group. They also said current Bolivian president is not responsible… and blamed vice-minister for Interior Regime and Police, Marcos Farfan, who was let go today.

The Central Union of Workers (COB) has called for a national strike tomorrow. The COB has just said (13:37 hours) at PAT news program that they are requesting the expulsion of minister Sacha Llorenti from the government. The teachers’ union has expressed its support to tomorrow’s strike.

Marcos Farfan said he was not responsible and that the decision was “operative.” Ministers Romero and Llorenti said the action was taken per Attorney’s  instructions; to that allegation, prosecutor Edwin Sarmiento denied he did not send any instruction to intervene the TIPNIS group.
