For many of us it is a secret that Bolivia is experiencing a moment of tension due to the proposal of criminilization of evangelization, this proposal was made by the president of the country Evo Morales. The new code of the criminal system proposes changes in legislation that will curtail religious freedom and bring the country closer to the Bolivarian concept of society, quite similar to communism by embracing dictatorship as a model of government.
Article 88 of the bill declares seven to twelve years of imprisonment for the perpetrator of the crimes described in the previous paragraph.
However, Christian leaders call attention to the fact that paragraph twelve characterizes as a crime "the recruitment of people to participate in religious or religious organizations."
Hundreds of evangelicals demonstrated in La Paz, the capital. Laprotesta had the support of lawyers and journalists from different parts of the world.
In contrast, the Bolivian government argues that the freedom of expression, whether religious or opinion in the press, literature and arts, is a "state concession," and that "excesses" need to be combated. The same speech was adopted in Brazil years ago by former President Lula who proposed a law regulating the media that had the air of censorship of the gospel as well.

In that context, Pastor Marco Feliciano promised to seek information from the Brazilian diplomatic authorities to discover ways to put pressure on the government of evo morals. "That is nothing more than an attempt to silence those who are against their project of perpetuation in power." Feliciano stated in a video posted on his social networks.
The pastor also asked that Brazilian Christians mobilize in prayer and stay informed because President Morales is part of the group of leftist politicians in Latin America and has sympathy and support from Brazilian parties that act in that ideological spectrum.
"Remember Christians, evil comes with a cotton shoe, entering our homes and the government, we need to resist so that Bolivia is free, so that the Gospel is preached and freedom of worship, which is one of the greatest individual rights of being human". Marco Feliciano pointed out.
