Alex van Schaick shocked at US official spy demands in Bolivia
“He asked me that if I should encounter Venezuelans or Cubans while in the field — doctors, field workers — that I should report to the embassy with their names … and where they’re at, their location,” van Schaick said.
Van Schaick said he reported the incident Thursday to Bolivian Foreign Minister David Choquehuanca.
Van Schaick, who arrived in Bolivia last October, said he is using his Fulbright grant to study land use issues among largely indigenous farmers in Bolivia’s eastern lowlands.
What a first class american citizen. So what if he was asked to spy? He could have just declined for personal reasons - nobody was twisting his arm. Instead this jerk takes it upon himself to report it to Bolivia! Where is the outrage at this jerk?
