“Mineral resources, like other natural resources, are the property of the Bolivian people,” says Marco Gandarillas, the Cochabamba-based researcher. He describes the state as a mere administrator of the wealth. “That the government negotiated the mining law with only the mining sector, without consulting anyone else is unconstitutional. This law transcends social boundaries and the population has the right to know more and weigh in with opinions. The demonstrations against it are, in essence, demanding compliance with the Constitution.”
