IT IS vital now more than ever that we in the British labour and progressive movements stand firmly in solidarity with the Movement to Socialism (MAS) government in Bolivia, and all the popular organisations fighting for a better society in the face of a rising tide of violent acts committed recently on the streets by the right-wing opposition within Bolivia. 

This rising tide of right-wing violence is led by Governor of Santa Cruz Luis Camacho, who had previously played a key role within the 2019 coup attempt that succeeded in causing the collapse of the Evo Morales government in 2019. 

Camacho announced on September 30 an anti-government campaign of indefinite duration beginning on October 22.
