Sometimes I Just Love Indymedia
I really enjoyed this comment:
EVO NO SERA UN ENCUBIERTO DE LA CIA?
PEPE SANCHEZ 23/01/2006 20:17LOS PERSONAJES QUE PUSO PARA MINISTROS REALMENTE SON TENEBROSOS,¿QUIEN ES EVO REALMENTE?
¿PORQUE LOS YANQUIS NUNCA LO TOCARON,Y SIN EMBARGO A MARCELO Q.STA CRUZ LO ASESINARON?
AQUI HAY FELINO ENJAULADO....
Some are pretty perplexed by the choices for the cabinet, saying that most are unqualified and that they do not have experience in government. I thought that was some of the point, to get people who aren't career public "servants". The Bolivia government website will have the resumes of all of the cabinet members soon. Let's wait to see what exactly are their qualifications before dismissing them as total novices. But in the meantime, I really hope ol' Pepe Sanchez was just playing around.
Some more:
ABEL MAMANI FINANCIADO POR EL GONI
JESUS 23/01/2006 13:20Es una barbaridad que Abel Mamani, agente del goni que tuvoi que ver mucho en la runcia de Mesa sea ministro. Pero si este cojudo no reduce el precio del agua ya se las verá con nosotros. Asi que cuidadito.
Apparently, very few are pleased with the selection Abel Mamani. Was Oscar Olivera, the poster-boy for all things water, ever considered? Maybe he was not considered because of the disparaging things he had to say about Morales, such as saying that Morales was part of the political elite and other remarks.
Others are not so convinced he embodies the will of the dispossessed. "He takes a party position, not that of the people," says Oscar Olivera, who led a successful protest against water privatisation in 2000 in Cochabamba, the country's fourth largest city and Mr Morales's base.
and this:
AMY GOODMAN: Oscar Olivera, do you think Evo Morales represents their views?
OSCAR OLIVERA: [translated by Andres Conteris] Originally, Evo Morales very much was listening to the perspective of the indigenous peoples, but what we are seeing currently is that the emphasis on that perspective is going down quite a bit, and so he's really not so much focused on the interests of the general population.
AMY GOODMAN: What's changed him?
OSCAR OLIVERA: [translated by Andres Conteris] I think it has to do very much with the lack of direct contact with the people at the grassroots, and he is in much more touch with the political elite.
