Nine protesters in Bolivia are killed
Date: None

Thousands of Bolivians congregate in the city of El Alto to repudiate government repression in a hydrocarbon plant, which left nine dead, and announced march with the coffins to La Paz.

The de facto government murders protesters “We are going to go with our dead so that the international and national press finds out that this government has killed our brothers,” said a leader of a town hall in Senkata, district eight of the city of El Alto, a town located in the Department of La Paz.

With this statement, the leader summoned his fellow citizens to support a massive mobilization of mourning for Thursday, in which the coffins of the nine dead in the military-military operation on Tuesday will be carried to evacuate the tanks with fuel from the plant of Senkata hydrocarbons, in order to alleviate the shortage of fuels in the region, says HispanTV.

The convocation of the great march in El Alto was carried out before the hundreds of protesters who gathered in this town to protest the dead that the repression carried out by members of the Police and the Army has claimed, resorting to the use of weapons from fire, killed nine people and wounded more than 30 in the demonstration held in the vicinity of the facilities against the self-proclaimed interim president of Bolivia, Jeanine Áñez.

The protesters kept a minute of silence for the dead

The protesters, mostly indigenous and supporters of the Movement for Socialism (MAS), party of the Bolivian president, Evo Morales, kept a minute of silence for the deceased.

The place had been blocked for days by followers of Morales, exiled in Mexico after presenting his resignation on November 10 in order to pacify the country after a wave of repression against members of his party and government officials. After the resignation of the former president, the opposition proclaimed Áñez acting president, which caused the indigenous population of the country to begin marches, initially, in support of Morales and to demand the resignation of Áñez, but now demand, in addition , the call for general elections and the restoration of the constitutional thread.
