“The National Association of Journalists of Bolivia (ANPB) and the Association of Journalists of La Paz (APLP) will hold Evo Morales responsible if new attacks against the media and journalists emerge from their bases. Morales heads the Movement Toward Socialism (MAS). His statements incite hatred, they said.
"If attacks against the media or journalists were to happen, we hold Morales responsible for inciting hatred and the use of violence against our profession, whose sole mission is the sacred task of reporting," according to part of a statement issued on Nov. 27 by these organizations representing journalists."
