		Mesa se veía a sí mismo al frente de los designios de la nación sólo el tiempo necesario para “dar respuesta” a los desafíos mencionados, al cabo del cual sería procedente convocar unas elecciones “transparentes, creíbles y efectivas”.
		En el epicentro del movimiento de protesta, Mesa discurseó a los presentes pidiéndoles “pacificación”, expresándoles su tributo a quienes “ofrendaron su sangre aymara” en “la defensa de un recurso fundamental de nuestro país”, y prometiendo a los familiares indemnizaciones y justicia.

		Little did Mr Mesa know almost every day of his tenure would be marked by protest, and that the fate of the gas would plunge his country - and his leadership - into paralysis.
		On 6 June, Mr Mesa again submitted his resignation - though there was no clear successor to the man who at one time, remarkably, commanded the simultaneous support of Washington and the Movement to Socialism party led by coca farmer Evo Morales.
		Mr Mesa's chapter in history has yet to be written, but a working title might be: Bolivian President: Between a rock and a hard place.

	Bolivia - Chile - Worldpress.org
		Mesa appealed in a speech before President Bush, Lagos, and other Latin American leaders for support for Bolivia’s bid to reclaim sovereignty over a strip of land extending from its southwestern border to the sea in Chile’s northernmost province.
		Mesa’s move represented a constructive attempt to persuade his Chilean counterpart “to look to the future and seek a comprehensive response to the existing dispute,” asserted Cochabamba’s Los Tiempos in an editorial (Jan. 15).
		Mesa’s decision to push the maritime issue to the top of his diplomatic agenda was interpreted by Chilean commentators as driven by domestic politics, particularly since it came just three months after popular protests over a proposed gas-pipeline deal contributed to the forced resignation of Mesa’s predecessor, Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada.

		Mesa tried to convince the protest leaders that his proposal for 18 percent royalties and 32 percent taxes will add up to the same as 50 percent in royalties.
		Mesa told foreign journalists on March 9 that the 50 percent royalty rate would invite massive lawsuits by foreign companies with gas contracts in Bolivia, but that his 32 percent tax and 18 percent royalty formula would bring “an explosion” of new investment, eliminating the country’s need for foreign aid.
		Mesa’s resignation offer appeared to be aimed at dividing and weakening Bolivia’s grassroots movements, both by exerting counter-pressure on Congress, which is leaning toward popular demands on the gas law, and by empowering certain sectors of the public to actively oppose the protests.

		In October 2003, Mesa, the former vice-president under the hated and murderous regime of Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada (“Goni”), rode to the presidential palace on a popular wave of mobilization emanating out of the altiplano (western high-plains), and the massive shantytown of El Alto.
		According to Mesa, these transnational companies “are finished with the era in which they only enjoyed advantages.” These companies are making super profits thanks to favourable contracts signed by the Bolivian government that set their tax rates at only 18%.
		Mesa used his considerable oratory skills, attained through years of experience as historian, journalist, and public intellectual, to reassure the October bases just enough to temporarily temper their then near-revolutionary sentiments.

		In this context, the organisation has stressed to Bolivian governments, including the present government of President Carlos Mesa Gisbert, its continuing concern at the lack of exhaustive, independent and conclusive investigations into such allegations, and at the jurisdiction of military courts in cases against military personnel accused of human rights violations.
		Amnesty International welcomed President Carlos Mesa Gisbert's affirmation, in his inaugural speech to the National Congress on 17 October 2003, with regard to the respect of human rights and the respect for life "as a citizen's most precious possession and gift".
		The Bolivian authorities must ensure that the resolution of these crises is guided by the principle of the indivisibility of human rights, that is to say, that it recognizes that the crisis has its roots in the violation of the economic, social and cultural rights of marginalized sectors of the population.
