From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alternitiva Socialista Revolucionaria (Revolutionary Socialist Alternative) is the Bolivian section of the Committee for a Workers' International. It produces the paper 'La Chispa' (The Spark).

Formed very recently, its main activity is based in Cochabamba, providing an information board in the central plaza and have also organised the People’s Plaza Defense Committee to defend social movements in the city against attacks by right-wing thugs.[1] Members have also played a role in supporting the hunger strike of the Sindicato Mixto de Trabajadores Petroleros Gualberto Villarroel union leaders demanding back their jobs.[2]
