ECR MEPs of the Euro-Latin American Parliamentary Assembly
(EUROLAT) participating in the EUROLAT assembly in Mexico City express deep
concern over the violent demonstrations and road blockades that have paralysed
Bolivia for over 20 days. These protests are widely supported by former
president Evo Morales and aim to subvert the constitutional order and overthrow
the government. President Rodrigo Paz was democratically elected in free and
fair elections recognised by all international bodies, including the European
Union. While the protests are reaching increasingly alarming levels of violence
and causing casualties among innocent people, the Bolivian government is
working to restore public order. The ECR Group firmly supports President Paz
and his government, and calls for protests to be conducted peacefully and in
accordance with democratic principles.
