Unfortunately some of the traditional parties, the parties of the landowners, have been fighting against it. But it is important to expropriate this idle land, that serves no economical purpose to the country." 5. Mid of Morales STORYLINE Bolivian President Evo Morales handed out titles for farmland and tractors made in Venezuela and Iran to Bolivian peasants on Wednesday as he drummed up support for his ambitious agrarian reform. Morales drove into town on a Chinese tractor bedecked with flags and covered in confetti. The government announced plans to distribute as many as 500 tractors - made in Venezuela, Iran, Spain and China - as well as 2,000 individual land titles. At least 50 tractors were handed out Wednesday. The trip to the symbolic centre of Bolivia's land reform movement was intended to celebrate a proposed law that is part of Morales' far-reaching "agrarian revolution," but Congress has yet to vote on the controversial measure. It was in this dusty farming town on the high plains near Cochabamba where Bolivia's first agrarian reform was launched in 1953. Morales used the occasion to press Congress to allow the government to seize private lands found to be unproductive, obtained illegally or used for speculation. Morales' proposed bill would alter the bylaws of the National Institute on Agrarian Reform, or INRA. Congress has invited peasant farmers, indigenous groups, and agribusiness leaders to debate Morales' bill and other proposals to change the INRA on Thursday. Morales kicked off his campaign for the changes in June by handing over roughly 24,800 square kilometers (9,600 square miles) of state-owned land to poor Indian groups. On Wednesday, he handed out only about 15 titles, without indicating the amount of land. Before his term ends in 2011, Morales has pledged to redistribute 200,000 square kilometers (77,000 square miles) of public land - an area roughly twice the size of Portugal. Just under 90 percent of Bolivia's productive terrain is worked by only 50,000 families, leaving millions of Bolivians with little or no land, according to the government. The redistribution plans have heightened long-standing tensions between the prosperous residents of Bolivia's agricultural lowlands and the poorer, mostly Indian people of the western high plains.
