Bolivia Reveals Details of Land Redistribution

HeadlineMay 17, 2006

In Bolivia Tuesday, the government released details of plans to distribute unused land to the country’s poor peasants. Officials said over 12 million acres of land would initially be given out. Bolivian Vice President Alvaro García Linera said privately-owned productive farmland would not be affected and called for a public dialogue: “With the farmers, with the indigenous, with all the social sectors involved in the issue of land, it is necessary to bring together points of conflict, to talk about them at the table, look at them from one side, look at them from the other and at the end of a month, two months or three months, we will begin to make decisions again.”
