They Have a New Name
Just when I was getting used to the "bancada patriótica", the new group of lawmakers publicly supporting the President and all of moderate Bolivia has a new name. They will be known as the "Corriente por la Defensa de la Democracia". This group led by Filemón Escobar (MAS), Franz Barrios (MBL), and Hugo San Martin (MNR) held their first meeting on Wednesday. Approximately 35 lawmakers in total were in attendance. Their top priority is to see if the new raise in fuel prices can be "flexible". The group is also committed to seeing the Constituent Assembly through.

The only thing I don't like about this group, is that they are waiting for pay-off or tit-for-tat or quid-pro-quo, however you want to call it. They expect to get paid for their support. They cannot do this just because they are "patriotic" right? I guess that's why they changed the name.

Considero a Hugo San Martin como un gran lider para el futuro y me alegra que de apoyo a un gran presidente como C. Mesa
