In the early hours of Wednesday 24 November, avoiding the numerous patrols in the area, and a few meters from a police car on guard, we placed and detonated a device against the entrance to the headquarters of the Bolivian Episcopal Conference (CEB), the highest authority of the Catholic Church in Bolivia.

This action speaks for itself. The aim was to damage the infrastructure of the CEB and send a clear message that the abuses of the Church will not go unchallenged. This is the only possible response to an institution that persists in torturing bodies to perpetuate its hypocritical morality.

Recently, once again, this institution forced an 11-year-old girl to give birth (1). They prolonged her rape pregnancy as long as they could.

The neighborhood of Calacoto in the South Zone of the city of La Paz, where the rich take refuge behind its walls and its private guard, saw its passivity interrupted by the placement of an incendiary device composed of 10 liters of gasoline, black powder and a timer clock, which unfortunately did not fulfill its objective.

The detonation system was powered by a 9v battery which, when the circuit was closed, was supposed to heat a resistor which, in contact with the gunpowder, would cause the ignition of the fuel. We do not know the reason why the explosion did not take place, since the information given in the press about the characteristics of the device are falsified. The system had already been tested, but we think that it could have been the battery that failed, or, otherwise, the device was deactivated before detonation.

Power and its repressive apparatus have attacked anti-authoritarian spaces and compas that are resisting the confinement in different territories. This action is a wink of complicity, solidarity and revenge with all those comrades kidnapped in the dungeons of the States.
