		Due to a period of political and economic instability in the early to middle nineteenth century, Bolivia's weakness was demonstrated during the War of the Pacific (1879–83), during which it lost its access to the sea, and the adjoining rich nitrate fields, together with the port of Antofagasta, to Chile.
		Bolivia's position is strengthened both by the knowledge that hydrocarbon-reserves are more highly valued now than at the times of previous nationalizations, and by the pledged support of President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela.

	Blog from Bolivia: Latest Bolivian Water Revolt Takes Dramatic Turn
		The public revolt against water privatization taking place this week in the city of El Alto took a dramatic turn today – the announcement by the Bolivian government that it is canceling the private water contract, and the rejection of that offer by citizen groups.
		Cochabamba, Bolivia – As the city of El Alto finished the second day of a citywide general strike, demanding ouster of the multinational corporation that controls its water, the Bolivian government announced that it has decided to cancel the company’s water contract.
		Public protests against the company charge that it has failed to extend water and sewage service to tens of thousands of families in the city’s impoverished outskirts and that hook-up costs exceed more than half a year’s income at the Bolivian minimum wage.

	Q++ Worldwide Public Holidays News and Analysis
		Brought to you by the research team of the Q++ Studio Worldwide Public Holidays Database, the professional source of worldwide public holidays used and trusted by the most prestigious diary and calendar publishers of the world.
		Peru already has a regional public holiday for Inti Raymi on June 24, and recently a bill was introduced in the Bolivian legislature to replace Corpus Christi public holiday with a public holiday to celebrate Indigenous New Year but it was scuttled by Catholics in the legislature (our news story of June 6).
		As the examples of Bolivia and Venezuela show, adding a public holiday is a source of problems with the business community, while replacing an existing public holiday, most of which are Catholic, can cause a backlash from the more conservative elements of society.

		Carlos Mesa, president of Bolivia, presented his resignation to the congress in the face of the social movements (protestors) that have sieged La Paz for (i believe) two weeks.
		This move is not going to demobilize the movements, that will depend on who is the person who is going to succeed Carlos Mesa.
		We had peace at the weekend, I guess the demonstraters and the entire Bolivian police force got tired and decided to have a rest, he he.
