  Narco News Interviews El Mallku, Felipe Quispe
Quispe is also the Mallku (the Prince), the man to whom all the Indian nations that inhabit Bolivian territory have given the staff of traditional leadership, making him their one leader, their true spokesman.
Quispe still has charges pending in Bolivian courts for armed uprising, due to his participation during the 1990s in the Tupac Katari Guerrilla Army (a trial in which the State illegally prolongs the case without having obtained a judgment against the accused).
Like his predecessor in the leadership of his people, Quispe repeated the act of surrounding the city in the year 2000, reminding all of the success of Tupac Katari in trapping the government in its own territory, in "its" city.

 Bolivia Petition 150/01 Admissible
Felipe Quispe Huanta, Alejandro Choque, and Mario Apanza Bautista were arrested in the city of La Paz when having a conversation in the street.
In addition to the illegal holding of the Ortiz Quispe family in their home and the restrictions on their communication and ability to obtain food, it is alleged that a criminal proceeding with no basis in evidence is being opened against Mauricio García Linera, the brother of one of two of the accused.
In addition, during the proceeding the accused Felipe Quispe Huanta was elected to a seat in the national legislature, and therefore came to enjoy parliamentary immunity, which also kept the matter from going forward normally.

 New Socialist Group: BOLIVIA: Felipe Quispe and MIP
Quispe abandons the keys and jumps a railing to the basement with surprising fleetness for a man of sixty three.
Quispe conducts his followers around the shores of the lake, switching between Aymara to discuss local politics with the men, two of whom are MIP congressional candidates, and Spanish to discuss painting walls with the MIP slogan.
Quispe and MIP were important organizers of the most recent protest in June 2005 which rallied over 500,000 people in La Paz to demand full nationalization of hydrocarbons and pressed then-president Carlos Mesa into resigning office.

 Ciao!: Learning how to lose
Felipe Quispe (aka "Mallku") of the indigenous MIP (Pachakutik Indigenous Movement) has declared that if he doesn't win the election, he'll take the presidency by force.
I don't take it as a hollow threat; Quispe was previously jailed for his participation in the guerrilla/terrorist/insurgent EGTK.
And while a candidate polling around 1% can't really speak for a large section of the population — and his "uprising" would no doubt be crushed in a bloody mess — his threats could shut down local transportation routes in the Altiplano.

The Altiplano blockades are being led by Felipe Quispe Huanca, whose followers in the Altiplano region call him “El Mallku” (condor, or great leader, in the Aymará language).
Quispe was supposed to appear before the Public Ministry on July 5 to answer to charges of “sedition”; however, he refused to appear, making it likely that an arrest order will be issued against him.
Quispe said on July 4 that his followers had decided he should not appear to answer the charges, and warned instead he would take up arms to begin a “new revolutionary process.” Quispe praised the actions of a group of debt protesters who seized the Superintendency of Banks on July 2.

Quispe, a convicted terrorist in the 1980s, is now a federal deputy from La Paz department and head of the Pachacuti Indigenous Movement and the Sole Sindical Confederation of Campesino Workers of Bolivia (CSUTCB).
Quispe, the Ecuadoran CONAIE and Pachakuti groups, as well as MPN, all share the ultimate goal of reconstituting the pre-Colombian Inca Empire, Tihuantisuyo, from Ecuador to Northern Chile, including all of Bolivia and Peru and parts of Argentina.
When Quispe declares that the main objective of his Movimiento Indígena Pachacuti is to establish a “Republic of Qollasuyo” — the name of the easternmost of the Inca Empire’s four provinces — he may as well join the Humalas’ dream of re-establishing the whole empire.

 www.agp.org | archivos de los protestos globales: Felipe Quispe has been shaking up Bolivia (2.2.02)
Quispe is backed in his bid for the presidency by the MIP, which follows the ideology of the martyred Andean rebel Tupac Katari, who stood up to Spanish colonialists two centuries ago.
In some ways Quispe is in the mould of the Cuban-Argentine revolutionary, Ernesto "Che" Guevara, who tried to persuade Bolivian peasants to revolt, before he was shot.
Quispe made further headlines for his gleeful reaction to the September 11 terrorist attacks on the US and his call for a Latin American rebellion against "imperialism" after three peasants were shot by troops in Ecuador in early 2001.

 [No title]
Quispe and Morales are often political opponents, particularly when seeking the allegiance of residents of El Alto, the sprawling burgeoning city of 800,000 on the Altiplano just above La Paz, where recent events have revealed a third powerful Indian political force, FEJUVE.
Quispe initiated roadblocks early in 2003 on the roads north of La Paz, cutting the road from La Paz through Achacachi (an often restless Aymara city on the Altiplano) to Sorata, a center for trekking and other tourism at the foot of Mt. Illampu, northern anchor of the Cordillera Royal.
Felipe Quispe had initiated the blockades of 2003 demanding revision of the contracts for exploitation of gas reserves by international consortiums, but what led to the massive protest was the shedding of Indian blood in El Alto.

 Three dreams turn into a nightmare
Quispe maintains that his fellow Aymaras (two million of them, with some presence in Ecuador and Peru) together with the Quechuas (three million) must destroy the white, republican institutions derived from the Spanish colonial period and return to pre-Columbian historic tradition.
If the winner of the upcoming presidential election is Jorge Quiroga and if he tries to play the card of Western modernity, Quispe and Morales would immediately launch their hordes against the public institutions and the public order, forcing the government once more to decide whether to kill or surrender.
If Quispe manages to articulate an ethnic insurrection on a grand scale, the third of the country that cherishes the values represented by Quiroga -- the army included -- would respond with bloodshed and fire.

29/oct/2003.- Quispe, quien encabezó los cortes de ruta que sirvieron de prólogo a las masivas marchas y cruentos enfrentamientos en varias ciudades que obligaron a la renuncia del ex presidente Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada, ahora exige que Mesa entregue gratuitamente a su sector 1,000 tractores.
Quispe se presenta ahora como el autor de la caída de Sánchez de Lozada, aunque en verdad, los bloqueos que protagonizaba en dos carreteras del altiplano de La Paz languidecían cuando otros dirigentes indígenas, campesinos y obreros lanzaron sus propias protestas.

Felipe Quispe and the highland Aymara peasantry negotiated the provision of 500 tractors stipulated in the Island of the Sun Accords, while senior citizens broke off conversations with the government over law 2434 and the indexation of their retirement benefits to the dollar, declaring that they would march on La Paz in protest.
