Summary 
------- 
 
1. (SBU)  The Second Summit of the Community of South 
American Nations (CSN) is scheduled to take place December 
8-9 in Cochabamba.  Reports differ on how many presidents 
will attend, but on December 7, the GOB claimed that 11 South 
American presidents have confirmed their attendance, although 
we understand from embassies in La Paz that President 
Kirchner of Argentina and Uribe of Columbia will not come. 
On October 2, President Morales announced his proposal for 
the summit, which advocates establishing "South American 
citizenship;" creation of an energy commission for energy 
integration and a South American development bank; 
depenalization and industrialization of coca; and 
establishment of a common voice to "defend against 
globalization and liberalism."  South America's presidents 
will arrive in Cochabamba at a time of heightened social 
tension, with over 1,000 people nationwide protesting 
Morales' heavy-handedness in the Constituent Assembly. 
Indigenous peoples and up to fifty leftist, social groups 
will be hosting a parallel summit in Cochabamba called the 
Social Summit for the People's Integration.  Given the 
current unrest, Morales is clearly concerned about how his 
peers will view the summit, and is planning to mobilize over 
4,000 police officers (with the armed forces on alert) to 
assist with security.  End Summary.

Attendees at this Year's Summit 
------------------------------- 
 
2. (SBU)  Reports differ on how many presidents will attend, 
but on December 7, the GOB claimed that 11 South American 
presidents have confirmed their attendance, although we 
understand from embassies in La Paz that President Kirchner 
of Argentina and Uribe of Columbia will not come.  Mexico and 
Panama will send delegations to attend as observers. 
Several regional and international organizations such as 
CARICOM, MERCOSUR, CAN, the UN, and the EU have also been 
invited. 
 
----------------- 
Morales' Proposal 
----------------- 
 
3. (SBU)  On October 2, President Morales announced his 
proposal for the summit, which advocates establishing South 
American citizenship; creation of an energy commission for 
energy integration (including hydrocarbons nationalization) 
and a South American development bank; depenalization and 
industrialization of coca; and establishment of a common 
South American voice to promote "fair commerce that will 
overcome liberalism" and to defend against globalization and 
a uni-polar world.  The proposal also suggests that CSN 
presidents work towards a "treaty which will make the CSN a 
real South American block on a political, economic, social 
and cultural level." 
 
--------------------------------------------- ----- 
Turmoil Everywhere -- Three Strikes and Who,s Out? 
--------------------------------------------- ----- 
 
4.  (SBU)  South America's presidents will arrive in 
Cochabamba at a time of heightened social tension with over 
1,000 people on hunger strikes nationwide protesting Morales' 
heavy-handedness in the Constituent Assembly.  Until late 
December 5, Cochabamba was also suffering from two work 
stoppages -- a transportation workers strike and a 
small-businessmen strike.  The two strikes crippled 
circulation within the city, raising the fear that the summit 
would be disrupted.  Transportation workers agreed to suspend 
the strike for the summit.  Small business owners also called 
off their strike, but there remain a few angry strikers who 
have decided to stage a fake "crucifixion" in the main 
square.  In addition to the political turmoil, Cochabambinos 
(residents of Cochabamba) have been forced to battle standing 
water and thick mud, the result of recent heavy rains, to 
re-beautify meeting venues. 
--------------- 
Parallel Summit 
--------------- 
 
5. (SBU)  Indigenous peoples and up to fifty leftist social 
groups will be hosting a parallel summit in Cochabamba called 
the Social Summit for the People's Integration.  Estimates 
are that over 3,000 people will attend the alternative 
summit.  The themes of the Social Summit are very similar to 
those proposed by President Morales.  A key goal of the 
parallel summit's organizers is the strengthening of popular 
resistance to "neoliberalism" and free trade agreements 
including the Free Trade Area of the Americas.  The summit 
will also serve as a platform to promote the Peoples Trade 
Agreement between Bolivia, Cuba, and Venezuela.  According to 
press reports, both President Morales and Venezuelan 
President Chavez plan to attend and speak at the alternative 
summit.

Comment 
------- 
 
6. (SBU)  Given the current unrest, Morales is clearly 
concerned about how his peers will view the upcoming summit, 
and is planning to mobilize over 4,000 police officers (with 
the armed forces on alert) to assist with security.  Army 
Commander and MAS ally General Freddy Bersatti has tried to 
downplay the arrangements as normal security measures that 
are taken when heads of state visit Bolivia.  End Comment.
