Bolivia’s Water War, 2000
Bolivia is a poor country in Latin America.
The World Bank pressurised the government to give up its control of municipal water supply.
The government sold these rights for the city of Cochabamba to a multi-national company (MNC).
The company immediately increased the price of water four times. This led to a spontaneous popular protest.
A new alliance of labour, human rights and community leaders called FEDECOR, forced the officials of the MNC to flee the city and made the government concede to all the demands of the protesters.
The contract with the MNC was cancelled and water supply was restored to the municipality at old rates. This came to be known as Bolivia’s water war.
