Detailed Solution

This statement is false.
The World Bank forced Bolivia's government to provide control of the municipal water supply. So, the government sold these rights to a Multinational company for the city of Cochabamba. The problem arose when the MNC started increasing the price of water in the region four times, creating hardships for all the households, peasants, and factories. Residents began strikes under the supervision of FEDECOR to restore the water supply to the hands of the municipality again. As a result, the officials of the MNC fled from the city, and the water supply was restored to the municipality through the citizen's struggle against water privatisation.
The correct statement would be The Bolivia government restored the water supply to the municipality even after immense protests by the people led by FEDECOR.
