Political graffiti

One of my favourite things in Cochabamba is the political graffiti all over the place. At first I was really surprised that there was so much writing everywhere, but now I'm actually reading it and find most of it terribly amusing.

The picture above and to the left says "Viva la insurreccion popular y armada." In English that means "Long live popular, armed insurrection." I love it.



"No to the payment of the foreign debt"






Oscar Olivera was the leader of the "Water War," a time in 2000 when basically the whole city got together and overthrew the company that privately owned the water system.
