SUMMARY 
 
1.  (U)  Eight of Bolivia's nine civic committees and five of 
the country's prefects met in Cochabamba on November 27 to 
discuss measures to oppose the GOB's handling of the 
Constituent Assembly, land reform, and the proposed censuring 
of prefects.  Police used tear gas to disperse protests 
organized by the Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) and there 
were reports of looting but no injuries.  At the end of their 
meeting, the civic committees issued the Cochabamba 
Declaration, which gives the national government seventy-two 
hours to reverse its decision and implement a two-thirds vote 
on all constitutional changes, suspend proposed legislation 
to censure the prefects, agree to discuss departmental 
autonomy, and disband the GOB created and MAS controlled 
parallel civic organizations.  If the GOB does not meet these 
demands within seventy two hours, the committees say they 
will increase civil disobedience measures to expand the 
ongoing hunger strike and institute a twenty-four hour 
nationwide strike on December 1.  End Summary. 
 
MAS TRIES TO DISRUPT COCHABAMBA MEETING 
 
2.  (U)  On November 27, the civic committees from the 
departments of La Paz, Beni, Cochabamba, Chuquisaca, Oruro, 
Santa Cruz, Tarija, and Pando along with the prefects of La 
Paz, Beni, Pando, Tarija, and Cochabamba met in the city of 
Cochabamba to discuss measures to oppose the GOB's handling 
of the Constituent Assembly, land reform, and the proposed 
censuring of prefects.  MAS militants threatened civic group 
members and disrupted their meetings.  Approximately 500 MAS 
supporters led by Cochabamba MAS leader Julio Salazar and MAS 
Senator Omar Fernandez succeeding in preventing the civic 
group leaders from meeting in one location. According to 
press report, MAS militants also tried to intimidate civic 
group supporters by targeting them with tomatoes, eggs, and 
water balloons, as well as chasing them through Cochabamba's 
streets.  Leading daily newspaper La Razon reported that five 
reporters were assaulted as a result of confrontations 
between MAS militants and civic committee sympathizers.  A 
cell phone shop was reportedly ransacked and looted.  The 
police eventually were forced to use tear gas and water 
cannons to disperse the groups, but no injuries were reported. 
 
3.  (U) At the end of their meeting, the eight civic 
committees voted unanimously to issue the Cochabamba 
Declaration, which demands that the GOB revoke the simple 
majority voting rule in the Constituent Assembly (CA) and 
that it suspend legislative projects on land reform and the 
censuring of departmental prefects (reftels).  If the civic 
groups' demands are not met within seventy-two hours the 
declaration states that acts of civil disobedience will 
intensify, including a nationwide one day work stoppage to 
begin at midnight December 1 and a hunger strike by the 
entire civic movement starting December 4.  The declaration 
also calls for the respect of the July referendum on 
departmental autonomy, denunciation of MAS militants who have 
harmed civic group sympathizers, and repudiation of the GOB's 
creation of parallel civic committees. 
 
COMMENT 
 
5.  (SBU) Comment: The Cochabamba Declaration and the actions 
by MAS militants demonstrate that tensions in Bolivia are 
running high.  The positions of the MAS and the departmental 
civic committees are diametrically opposed, leaving neither 
side much room for compromise.  President Morales was 
traveling outside of the country at the time the declaration 
was released and is expected to address the civic committees' 
demands upon his return November 28.  This latest round of 
unrest may only have been a preview what is to come in the 
next few weeks.  End Comment.
