[Read more]The discontent with the mayor was accentuated through the last weeks, when in a public speech he suported the independence of the Santa Cruz departament, and promoted protest in favor of the 2/3 in the Constituent Assembly and the departmental autonomies before the federal government. However, in a referedum carried out months before in Cochabamba, the "No" to the "departmental autonomies" prevailed, which was a dissatisfaction to the mayor that began a campaign of mobilizations for those demands.
