Opposition Calls for Referendum on Bolivia’s MoralesPosted on May 9, 2008
Evo Morales, the first indigenous president of Bolivia, will face a confidence vote in the next 90 days as opposition groups continue their push to remove him from power. The vote comes on the tail of last week’s unofficial and meaningless referendum for autonomy in which the wealthy state of Santa Cruz voted for greater independence from the federal government.

Evo Morales thinks that he is the elected leader of the Bolivian people. And that he can be candid, in his communication of his political, moral vision of the resurgence of Indiginous Peoples;who up till now had no voice on the world stage.He is entitled to that mantle of ethical,political leadership.It belongs to him!
Report thisThe attacks on his legitimacy are being aided and abetted by money from various agencies of the U.S. Government. I have no proof, but that is the usual m.o. of subversion undertaken in our name.It has happened so frequently as to be a political commonplace. As a political commonplace you would think that reporters working for the L.A.Times might want to ask various sources for their story of March 13,2008 entitled “Morales, Govenors face recall”:The question might be asked: what are the sources of the money to finance this recall movement? Who,what,when,where,why are the pertinent journalistic questions. Is Sam Zell a neo-conservative or simply an opportunist hoping for a waiver from the FCC? Or is “Special to the Times” under their byline an indemnification against critique?
