NGOs in Bolivia have been under harassment by Govt. staff, including President Morales and Vice President García-Linera allegedly because they oppose oil operations in 7 national parks. Companies interested in investing and/or expanding their business are: YPFB (State owned company), in joint ventures wit Petrobras (Brazil), Repsol (Spain) and Total (France).
