Now former Enatex worker Olga Sullka is blaming Morales SOUNDBITE (Spanish) FORMER ENATEX WORKER, OLGA SULLKA, SAYING: "Where is the work President Evo Morales has spoken so much about? Where is he now? He was one of the people and what is he doing to us now? He is killing us!" She says she has nothing more to lose. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) FORMER ENATEX WORKER, OLGA SULLKA, SAYING: "I am willing to give my life to repeal and annul this decree! I will give my life! I am already in bad health." The demonstrators lit fires along the road-- as workers from dozens of other companies in the area went on a 48 hour strike demanding a response from the government.
