Los Tiempos, a newspaper published in Cochabamba, reported on September 25 that “President Evo Morales asked yesterday, in his speech at the 74th session of the General Assembly of the United Nations Organization (UN), that concrete actions be activated to protect Mother Earth and combat global warming, but, according to activists, on the contrary the president activated in Bolivia in recent years at least 10 actions that contribute to destroy nature.” The hydeoelectric dams El Bala and Chepete were listed as one of the 10 actions. The mother earth activitist Pablo Solon was quoted in the article that the President "is totally inconsistent between what he says and what he does…Evo has turned the rights of mother earth into a slogan for the outside world, but not a policy implemented in Bolivia, when one sees their government program there is not a single concrete measure to realize the rights of mother earth.” You can read this Spanish language article here.
