The chief justice of the Supreme Court, Eduardo Rodríguez, was sworn in as interim president to succeed the outgoing Carlos Mesa.

The most dramatic change undertaken by the Sánchez de Lozada government was the "capitalization" program, under which investors, typically foreign, acquired 50% ownership and management control of public enterprises, such as the state oil corporation, telecommunications system, airlines, railroads, and electric utilities in return for agreed upon capital investments.

 Bolivia- Only a workers' and peasants' government with a genuine socialist programme can serve the people
These are the words of one of the leaders of the Bolivian October insurrection, Roberto de la Cruz, secretary of the Regional Workers' Union in El Alto, the centre of the revolutionary movement of the Bolivian workers.
The duty of a genuine revolutionary leadership in these moments is to prepare the masses for the decisive battle, the struggle for workers' and peasants' power, explaining what is already clear, that Mesa will not solve any of their problems since he belongs to the ruling class and has no intention of clashing with it.
The realisation that the policies of Mesa are the same as those of Sanchez de Lozada and the pressure from the rank and file has forced several leaders who previously offered the new government a truce, and even some of those who supported it more or less openly, to change their position.

In September and October of 2003, the Bolivian people suffered a violent repression by their government as they gathered to protest the decisions made by Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada and his ministers to export Bolivia´s natural gas, through Chilean ports, under conditions that were absolutely contrary to the national interest.
Unfortunately, however, the Bolivian government has been unable to officially notify Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada, Carlos Sanchez Berzain and Jorge Berindoague of their responsibility to return to Bolivia from the U.S. and participate in the trial of responsibility.
Last year, the Bolivian government sent rogatory letters to your officials, so that these persons could be officially notified by the appropriate authorities in the U.S. We are aware that your government—specifically the U.S. Department of State -- received these letters from the Bolivian government on June 22, 2005.

When Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada, who ruled Bolivia from 1993-97, was sworn in as president for a second time this past August, it was clear that neoliberalism was hobbling on its last legs.
Yet Sánchez de Lozada issued a series of reforms-privatization of pensions, the airline, the telephone company and the oil company; flexibilization of labor; municipal and land reform-that devastated that devastated rural cultivators and urban workers alike.
Sánchez de Lozada, pretending that everything was under control, left for the swearing-in ceremony of Lucio Gutierrez in Ecuador, as the media broadcast misleading images of cleared roads that prompted people to travel where they had no business doing so.

The Decree set the pace for Bolivian ‘shock-therapy’ with the critical input of Sanchez de Lozada, who was the planning minister in Estenssoro’s cabinet at the time and who was assisted by the friendly advice of Harvard-trained economist Jeffrey Sachs.
This bizarre behavior was accentuated by the President’s wife, who appeared on national television with a copy of the Bible in her hands and inviting the country pray for salvation.
With Sanchez de Lozada’s resignation, Carlos Mesa – who in previous articles was nurtured as a more moderate alternative to the generally faceless and ‘angry’ social movements in the streets – assumes the new role of favorite within the mainstream press.

They also offer policy-makers an opportunity to reevaluate the current policies and practices of their governments and institutions, particularly in the U.S. Congress should take the opportunity to more closely scrutinize the policies, practices and outcomes of the lending institutions to which taxpayers contribute, such as the World Bank.
Then, when 86 people were killed in the massacre of 2003 during the first installment of the Gas War, the State Department said: “The American people and their government support Bolivia’s democratically elected president.” Shortly after, news began to surface in the Bolivian press of U.S. involvement in the violent repression.
