Okt 17 17:49:23 and will things get better in general or will the next president just be another corruptive one? Okt 17 17:49:38 well, i think the idea now is very clear Okt 17 17:49:43 though this years Okt 17 17:50:05 the guberment lost a lot of credibility Okt 17 17:50:28 and finally, actually Okt 17 17:50:40 the state is in hands Okt 17 17:50:55 of a little joint of people, who evidently obeys Okt 17 17:51:13 --> occam (irc@localhost) has joined #interview Okt 17 17:51:15 the demands of US Okt 17 17:51:21 and FMI Okt 17 17:51:42 this demands, became more important than the basic need Okt 17 17:51:48 the needs of population Okt 17 17:52:07 in statistics terms, the poverty Okt 17 17:52:18 increased dramaticly Okt 17 17:52:48 the breach, of poberty incresed 50 years more Okt 17 17:53:10 * Alster wonders if anyone has questions left?

Okt 17 17:57:14 europe and usa Okt 17 17:57:36 always just imposed demands to poor countries Okt 17 17:58:11 and unluckly here, our political classs Okt 17 17:58:23 was very corrupted by all those oportunities Okt 17 17:58:36 ...

Okt 17 18:03:21 yes, Okt 17 18:03:36 here the 'class' diference is very much Okt 17 18:04:03 and the races very mixed Okt 17 18:04:34 indians, they demand basics things Okt 17 18:05:18 what do you mean by "basic"? Okt 17 18:05:20 the cities, demands jobs, economical, etc Okt 17 18:05:21 because they generally belong to a lower class?

Okt 17 18:05:46 clean water, or electricity Okt 17 18:05:50 --> brikz (irc@localhost) has joined #interview Okt 17 18:05:50 <-- briks has quit (Quit: sorry) Okt 17 18:05:52 or sanitary services Okt 17 18:06:16 and you can imagine, how this people lives Okt 17 18:06:30 of course is not in the extreme of africa Okt 17 18:06:40 but, its like the time stop in that places Okt 17 18:06:44 no development Okt 17 18:06:51 under-development, tahts the word Okt 17 18:07:04 and that last for years Okt 17 18:07:21 no advance, and the actions of the guberments Okt 17 18:07:25 all those years Okt 17 18:07:33 didnt fix that situation Okt 17 18:07:43 some right-wing paper in the US whose name I wont mention wrote that the poverty in bolivia is the fault of poor Okt 17 18:07:58 because they were effectively trying to keep the government from making business with the US Okt 17 18:08:01 soo , thats one of the reason why this people started this conflict, becouse theyre abandon Okt 17 18:08:23 which, according to them, would bring them revenues Okt 17 18:08:50 in part is true Okt 17 18:08:59 how many people in bolivia do you think share this opinion ? Okt 17 18:09:17 and is any of the media in bolivia spreading the same arguments? Okt 17 18:09:29 unluckly, the guberment and , as you know, bolivia is ranked as one of the most corrupted countries in whole america Okt 17 18:10:05 in bolivia, there is a problem Okt 17 18:10:16 the conscience Okt 17 18:10:26 people, knows the guberment is corrupt Okt 17 18:10:42 and guberment controls part of the media Okt 17 18:10:50 but the people just ignores taht Okt 17 18:10:57 i mean, it became a sort of normality Okt 17 18:11:14 another question for later: how is the situation for the media at the moment ? are (international) reportes / photographs in the streets ? Okt 17 18:11:39 --- occam is now known as occam-aafk Okt 17 18:11:41 but seems, than this is changing Okt 17 18:11:59 after presindent Banzer, who was president 3 years ago Okt 17 18:12:42 the conscience of the people woke up Okt 17 18:13:02 this is really an important change Okt 17 18:13:22 after 20 years of democracy (and support the corruptcy) Okt 17 18:13:31 things are changing Okt 17 18:13:48 what caused this change of conscience? Okt 17 18:14:12 you mean that people don't believe what the media controlled by the government say? Okt 17 18:14:28 they dont Okt 17 18:14:49 well, in this moments, its ridiculous ignore, we are living a crisis Okt 17 18:15:05 sorry, please answer Alster's question Okt 17 18:15:32 and this president, is knowed by his media interference Okt 17 18:15:35 ... Okt 17 18:15:40 well Alster Okt 17 18:15:45 :) Okt 17 18:16:04 this change is propoused initially by the farmers Okt 17 18:16:23 and cocaleros (coke producers) Okt 17 18:16:30 5 years ago Okt 17 18:16:45 when they started a war, similar to this one , but in Cochabamba Okt 17 18:17:25 defending the production of coca (lets not forget than coke was a important basis of the bolivian economy years ago) Okt 17 18:18:02 this process Okt 17 18:18:12 its evident, has grown Okt 17 18:18:36 and reached middle class, farmers from the north-west Okt 17 18:18:42 etc Okt 17 18:19:16 soo, finally, this is the result, of insatisfaction Okt 17 18:19:48 elnovato: I was looking at a lot of pictures these days of bolivian politicians, etc. and I see a lot of (if not all of them?) are 'white' men of spanish/european descent. gringos you would say. is it correct that the country is in large controlled by this ethnic group and how does the majority of people in the country feel about that? Okt 17 18:19:49 how dit it develop from cocaleros to middle/upper class? Okt 17 18:20:01 sorry:) Okt 17 18:20:19 sorry 2 :-) Okt 17 18:20:23 animo: yes Okt 17 18:20:38 althoug we dont like a racist fight Okt 17 18:20:44 I read in the CIA (cough) factbook, that about 15% of the population are 'white' Okt 17 18:21:05 but, the leads of the this country , are most white Okt 17 18:21:15 why is it that this ethnic group is so dominant in controlling bolivian political life and what do the people think of doing about that? Okt 17 18:21:51 and thats a probe, of a country domintaed by a political and a class, who have the power, even to gubern Okt 17 18:22:15 well, the answer amino, is the money Okt 17 18:22:31 for example Goni (actual president) Okt 17 18:22:50 he is part north american Okt 17 18:22:55 but he is also a business man Okt 17 18:23:26 he controls all miner production in bolivia Okt 17 18:23:37 I would say that north americans prefer making business with other 'white' people rather than indigenous ones, am I correct? Okt 17 18:24:05 yes, its correct Okt 17 18:24:19 but actually , north america dont have important investments in bolivia Okt 17 18:24:26 most are europeans Okt 17 18:24:54 the pilar of the political relatioshipo between bolivia and wahington is: the drugs Okt 17 18:24:57 and norcotrafic Okt 17 18:25:30 the US has been pretending to fight narcotics cultivation in bolivia Okt 17 18:26:14 yeah, the figure is: Bolivia, a country than 40% of the Pib was based on coke production Okt 17 18:26:36 and US, with the political to destroy all coke in the world Okt 17 18:26:56 i donno , indidectly or not , destroyed an important pilar in bolivia Okt 17 18:27:28 i mean, what US offered , for the destruction of drugs and coke production?? Okt 17 18:27:48 well, US used that excuse, Okt 17 18:28:03 and now bolivia is where it is Okt 17 18:29:19 to clarify: are coca plants cultivated just for the production of drugs that are meant to be sold in northern america? Okt 17 18:29:39 yeah, most of the production went to USA Okt 17 18:30:01 but Okt 17 18:30:47 i mean, if its posible One coutnry , can go to another country , destroy the production and part of the economy, and just leave like that?? Okt 17 18:31:18 I heard cultivating coca was traditional in bolivia Okt 17 18:31:29 of course, here is natural herb Okt 17 18:31:33 is for healing Okt 17 18:31:34 etc Okt 17 18:31:49 wha for, US people used coca, is not our fault Okt 17 18:32:04 and the same as IRAK Okt 17 18:32:05 but you said the majority of the production was meant for sale in the US Okt 17 18:32:20 US beleives they can bomb a country, and put their rules Okt 17 18:33:03 aparently, that can be discoused, Okt 17 18:33:39 if the majority of coca was to be processed into cocain and sold in the us, then that would explain why the US has an interest in stopping coca cultivation in bolivia Okt 17 18:34:21 yes, but the problem is not just to stop a factory Okt 17 18:34:39 this must be replaced by something Okt 17 18:35:11 becouse people produced coca, becouse they are farmers Okt 17 18:35:22 because the economy would break down if not Okt 17 18:35:24 ? Okt 17 18:35:43 and what they are going to eat if you destroy their production? Okt 17 18:35:50 yes, thats the contradiction Okt 17 18:35:59 cant they cultivate food of some sort? Okt 17 18:36:13 the solution was, alternative production, bananas, papayas, oranges, etc etc Okt 17 18:36:27 but, US dont want to open their markets Okt 17 18:36:32 to bolivian products Okt 17 18:36:43 soo that becomes a vicious cycle Okt 17 18:36:49 you mean they wont import them? Okt 17 18:36:58 yes Okt 17 18:37:08 becouse here, the internal market is too little Okt 17 18:37:15 for a production like that Okt 17 18:37:26 where is the US getting their bananas and papayas from? Okt 17 18:37:43 im not sure Okt 17 18:38:02 but the general idea, Okt 17 18:38:05 is tthat Okt 17 18:38:18 and that is the origins of the actual problems now Okt 17 18:38:25 --> elfo (irc@localhost) has joined #interview Okt 17 18:38:26 hi Okt 17 18:38:47 hi elfo Okt 17 18:38:51 brb Okt 17 18:39:03 basically the US is getting their bananas and papayas from countries where they sell them for cheaper Okt 17 18:39:08 --> skep (irc@localhost) has joined #interview Okt 17 18:39:28 so a country like bolivia is going to produce things that can be sold abroad at a much higher profit Okt 17 18:39:35 and thats drugs Okt 17 18:39:36 * linksrhein frowns Okt 17 18:39:39 well, we are not talking abouyt bananas and things Okt 17 18:39:50 here can produce anythign Okt 17 18:39:59 US doesnt want to open the market Okt 17 18:40:02 thats the problem Okt 17 18:40:10 a few minutes ago, you mentioned the different social classes in bolivia: coca-workers, farmers, miners, middle class, industrials, intellectials, academics , upper class, etc. which group would you assign yourself to if you had too? Okt 17 18:40:10 we can produce cars, bananas, etc Okt 17 18:40:15 what about europe? Okt 17 18:40:17 well you're going to produce things that can be sold at a good price Okt 17 18:40:33 thats the logic of the market Okt 17 18:40:46 Alster, im a business guy Okt 17 18:40:56 hehe :) Okt 17 18:41:32 any questions and fingers left?
