In Bolivia, no political party led the movement which was against the government’s move to privatise water. An organisation called FEDECOR was formed comprising various interest groups or pressure groups. These groups were local professionals, engineers,environmentalists, federations of farmers, factory workers’ unions, middle class students of the University of Cochabamba and the homeless street children of the city. Only in 2006, when the Socialist Party gained power, a political party supported the movement.
