Bolivia: National Unity 'Being Threatened'

Bolivian national unity is being threatened by President Evo Morales' actions, opposition civic leaders in the Bolivian department of Santa Cruz said June 11. The statement, reported in Bolivian daily Los Tiempos, comes after Morales refused to attend a scheduled meeting in Santa Cruz on June 9 because local leaders would not drop the issue of departmental autonomies from the meeting agenda.
