March for referendum on new constitution, La Paz

A campesino during a march to Plaza Murillo to pressurize Congress into approving the referendum date for a new constitution. The referendum took place on 25 January 2009, with an approx 60% vote in favour. Many people were wearing cardboard outlines of Bolivia in national colours showing they approved the new constitution (and also made good business for local printers!).
