Summary 
------- 
 
1. (U) La Paz daily newspaper La Prensa on June 17 published 
an interview with Vice President Alvaro Garcia Linera where 
he opined on the Constituent Assembly (CA) and the CA's 
hottest issue, autonomy.  Garcia Linera reiterated his oft 
stated remark that "departmental autonomy is guaranteed" and 
then explained that the MAS has two competing visions 
regarding "indigenous autonomy," an "easy" and a "difficult" 
vision.  The easy option maintains the country's existing 
internal boundaries while the difficult solution would carve 
up the country along historical indigenous lines.  In neither 
case did the vice president explain what authorities the new 
indigenous territories would possess.  While Garcia Linera 
met with La Prensa, the "Provisional Assembly for Santa 
Cruz's Autonomy" met and issued a ten point resolution on 
June 16 outlining its plans for defending departmental 
autonomy in the CA.  End Summary.

Vice President Alvaro Garcia Linera's Views 
------------------------------------------- 
 
2. (U) La Paz daily newspaper La Prensa on June 17 published 
an interview with Vice President Alvaro Garcia Linera where 
he opined on the Constituent Assembly (CA) and the CA's 
hottest issue, autonomy.  Garcia Linera argued that the 
current tensions in the CA were foreseeable, noting he always 
expected the last months of the CA to be the most difficult. 
He called the concept of making Sucre Bolivia's complete 
capital (to include the legislative and executive branch, not 
just the judiciary) an "immoral and irresponsible" tactic by 
certain opposition members to bargain for autonomy.  The vice 
president added that the opposition's strategy is to create 
tension and obstacles within the CA. 
 
3. (U) Garcia Linera reiterated his oft stated remark that 
 
"departmental autonomy is guaranteed" and then explained that 
the MAS has two competing visions regarding "indigenous 
autonomy," an "easy" and a "difficult" vision.  The easy 
option he defined as the grouping of two to three majority 
"indigenous" municipalities into an indigenous territory, or 
various provinces into a "macro indigenous territory."  He 
added that where all provinces of a department are majority 
indigenous, then the department could become an indigenous 
department. He also floated the idea of "indigenous regions" 
in the areas where indigenous groups cross departmental 
borders.  Garcia Linera explained that these indigenous 
regions, departments, and municipalities could coexist within 
Bolivia's current internal boundaries but failed to explain 
what authorities they would possess.  The difficult option, 
according to the vice president, is the proposal to 
reconstruct the country's internal boundaries along the 
historical land frontiers of Bolivia's indigenous peoples.

The Media Luna's Response 
------------------------- 
 
4. (U) While the Garcia Linera met with La Prensa, the 
"Provisional Assembly for Santa Cruz's Autonomy" met and 
issued a ten point resolution on June 16 outlining its plans 
for defending departmental autonomy in the CA. In the 
resolution, the Assembly declares a "regional state of 
emergency to defend the rule of law."  The resolution calls 
for Crucenos to fully support delegates who defend "Santa 
Cruz's citizens sovereignty" and calls any CA delegate from 
Santa Cruz who does not defend the July 2, 2006 autonomy 
referendum a "traitor of Santa Cruz."  It also calls on 
residents to form "Autonomy Circles" (neighborhood groups) to 
inform, mobilize, and defend the autonomy referendum and 
encourages Crucenos to march on Sucre and establish a 
permanent vigil until the CA commissions "reconsider" their 
reports.  The Prefect of Tarija Mario Cossio echoed many of 
 
the sentiments in the resolution stating that, "What cannot 
happen is that indigenous autonomy . . .has the same 
authority as that of the department, which is in essence the 
political plan that the MAS is promoting."

Comment 
------- 
 
5. (SBU) While the vice president may have tried to diffuse 
some of the passions over autonomy, most of his interview 
statements will not satisfy the four eastern departments. 
The June 16 Santa Cruz resolution illustrates that the east 
is preparing for a fight. The fight may not simply be a 
political debate in the halls of the Colegio Junin (where the 
CA commissions are meeting), but also in the streets of 
Sucre, Santa Cruz, and other cities around Bolivia.  End 
Comment.
