Controversy in Bolivia by law 1386

The president of Bolivia, Luis Arce, had already announced this Saturday the sending to the Legislative Assembly of the draft for the repeal of Law 1386.

Earlier, Arce asked the social organizations and the people to maintain the mobilization to defend work and democracy in Bolivia. This in the face of opposition actions that, he says, seek to destabilize his government.

For his part, the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Freddy Mamani, confirmed that the legislative session to repeal Law 1386 will be this Monday.
