Parliment to Accept or Reject Resignation
CNN is showing live footage of supporters of Carlos Mesa asking him to reconsider his decision to submit his resignation. Parliment will now have the task of accepting or rejecting this resignation. Most likely it is a gamble to show the alternative and the constitutional succession of power. Hormando Vaca Diez (MIR-Santa Cruz) would take over as President of Bolivia. With that, the Constitutent Assembly would be thrown off track, power would be handed on a silver platter to the Santa Cruz oligarchy, and the social movements would explode to sights unseen.
