Thousands of Bolivians are participating in a massive 124-mile march from the city of Caracollo to the capital of La Paz to show support for President Evo Morales and his proposed constitutional reforms. A referendum is scheduled for early December. Morales is seeking to redistribute land and energy resources from rich landowners to indigenous peasants, who make up over 60 percent of the population. On Monday, Morales joined with social leaders at the start of the march.
Evo Morales: “We hope that the people in Congress, the opposition, see the Bolivian people’s efforts and approve the constitutional reforms sooner in the journey.”
