First rapprochement between the government and indigenous populations
Luis Ángel Saavedra

However, the position of the current government is not clear in relation to the indigenous proposals, but at the same time, the indigenous contributions towards the creation of the Plurinational State, presented in this gathering, are not clear either.see more
