(5) The protest against water privatisation in Bolivia was not led by any political party. It was led by an organisation called FEDECOR. This organisation comprised of local professionals, including engineers and environmentalists. The movement was supported by the Socialist Party. In 2006, this party came to power in Bolivia.
(6) Thus in a democracy several different kinds of organisations work behind any big struggle.
