BOLIVIA: Morales reshuffles cabinet for third term
President Evo Morales was officially sworn-in for a third term in office last week. Heavyweights like Foreign Minister David Choquehuanca and Economy Minister Luis Arce retained their posts, but the 21-member cabinet was given a facelift with 13 new ministers brought in. The choices for the justice and interior portfolios attracted most attention given the widely acknowledged need to overhaul the judiciary and the ruling Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) government’s continued efforts to address insecurity, both of which emerged as campaign issues ahead of the October 2014 general election.
