A More Moderate Version of MAS
Slowly names are leaking out of those who are supporting Carlos Mesa. Although no longer distinctly using the word "bancada patriótica", this group of lawmakers are getting criticized by their party chief. Three notable names from MAS:
Filemón Escóbar, jefe de la Bancada del MAS en el Senado, fue separado de su partido por pelearse con Evo Morales.
Carlos Sandy, senador del MAS y actual presidente de la Comi-sión de Constitución, fue alejado de su partido con Escóbar.
Marcelo Aramayo, senador del MAS, segundo vicepresidente de la Cámara, fue separado de su partido con Escóbar.
If this three can lead the charge and create their own moderate leftist organization, they could be a refreshing voice of reason for those of us on the left (yes, I still consider myself left-leaning). Just think, people who still want to fight for the poor and marginalized without saying estupideces like "Mesa no le interesa la vida de los Bolivianos."

Wow. So the psedu-intellectuals from MAS have just split w/ Evo? Also, rumors are that Evo can barely read, and that his performance on his speech w/ the teleprompter didn't persuade anyone from that idea. Has MAS just started its CONDEPA-like disintegration?
