M.PRESS/ President Evo Morales kept his promise to redistribute allegedly fallow or ill-gotten land to the poor when he took over 115,000 hectares in the east.
The seizure includes thousands of hectares from the ranch of opposition leader Osvaldo Monasterio and 4 other haciendas. Monasterio owns the Unitel television network and a bank. Last December he lost another 3,000 hectares and in June, some 13,100 hectares.
