Tarija, BOLIVIA March 1 (ABI) .- President Evo Morales on Tuesday reported 75 percent existing water for irrigation and human consumption is controlled by the private sector. In a meeting with farmers of the department of Tarija, the Head of State noted that Bolivia has faced those interests in 2000 in the department of Cochabamba, in the so-called "Water War" when the private company Aguas del Tunari sought take over the service to get great returns. The "Water War" in Cochabamba in Cochabamba was fought between January and April 2000. Its trigger was the privatization of water supply, with the purpose of the multinational Bechtel privatized the water supply.

"Water is a service, it can be commercialized," noted the President, noting the decision of the people to prevent private interests to achieve their purposes.

"Water takes over the life of the planet and human beings, once production means food and therefore can not serve other interests than those of the population" said.

said that natural disasters that plague the world in recent times arise from climate change and global warming as a result of irrational industrial policy by some industrialized nations.

Morales made clear his belief that these irrational policies of development should be subject to international debate because it seeks to preserve the survival of the planet and humanity.

added that the major powers to enter developing countries with "pretexts as assist the fight against drug trafficking and terrorism, when the fund aims to establish presence to control the hydrocarbon resources and water. "

The Head of State gave as an example what happened in Foz de Iguazu, in the triple border between Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina, where it was alleged that houses a hotbed of terrorist groups, only to exercise control aquifer system.

Foz de Iguazu is a town in Brazil located in the far west of the state of Parana on the border with Argentina and Paraguay. The tri-border area consists of Foz de Iguazu (Brazil), Ciudad del Este (Paraguay) and Puerto Iguazú (Argentina).

The President added that the same goes for Colombia and the installation of U.S. military bases on the grounds that they are to face drug trafficking and terrorism, when in fact attempting to exert hegemony over other South American nations. Acl
