" i am not saying there will be no more conflict , there will be tensions for a while , i say a decade . . . but we will have built a state on six dimensions : the society under state control , integration , and the territorial privatization of democracy , " he said . the proposed constitution was supported in four opposed - controlled regions : the coastal upland of oruro , ca rosa , cochabamba and tarija , which contain most of bolivian ' s real gas production and are responsible for most of its agricultural output .
