BBC's Bolivia Piece
Hat tip to Alvaro (I didn't realize I didn't have him on my blogroll before), the BBC has a beautifully shot piece on Evo Morales and Bolivia (it comes on at approximately the 13th minute). I don't quite agree with Alvaro that Morales' rhetoric was hate-filled, but he makes an interesting point in that a lot of this new administration is symbolic. In the past, indigenous peoples were not even allowed in the central Plaza Murillo, and now cholitas with polleras are roaming the halls of the Palace. We've already seen as many had predicted, that Morales' main challenge will be with the social movements and other groups. Already, some indigenous groups feel slighted as they were left off the MAS candidate lists for the Constituent Assembly.
