It's misleading to say that the unrest is caused by nationalization of the country's oil and gas. Quite the opposite, it was privatized, state revenue from it dropped to a seventh of previous levels, and the unrest is caused by those who demand it's re-nationalization. I'm editing to reflect this. Delief 13:51, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)

You added: "A political crisis caused by popular unrest over the privatization of the natural gas industry led former president Carlos Mesa to offer his resignation to Congress."

This implies that Mesa was responsible for the privatizations of the natural gas industry and other public utilities. Mesa was only an interm president and was not responsible for the privatization schemes. Sanchez de Lozada was mostly responsible for the privatization of formerly public industries (including the infamous Cochabamba protests regarding the privatization of water utilities).
