0 Comments | AFP, September, 2008
LA PAZ (AFP) — Bolivia's opposition governors turned up the heat on President Evo Morales Wednesday, threatening that stepped-up protests against his socialist government could cut off exports of natural gas, the country's main economic asset, to Argentina and Brazil.
Authorities in Santa Cruz, Beni, Pando, Tarija and Chuquisaca, meeting since Tuesday in Santa Cruz, released a statement seeking greater regional autonomy and rejecting the new constitution proposed by Morales.
"If the government persists on its course, we will not be held responsible for the outcome of any act that might block the exporting of fuel" to Argentina and Brazil, they warned in a statement.
