The communities of the Tariquía nature reserve say "no" to gas extraction. Now YPFB, Petrobras and the Bolivian government will have to respect their grassroots decision. The companies tried to enter the reserve by force on Friday with help of the police.
Las comunidades de #Tariquia dijeron NO a las petroleras en su territorio La reunión cantonal de #Chiquiaca votó para que #petrobras y #YPFB se retiren El Estado tiene que respetar esta decisión popular #TariquiaLibreDePetroleras
