BOLIVIA: Morales names crucial appointment
President Evo Morales has sworn in Guillermo Achá as the permanent head of Bolivia’s state oil company, Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales Bolivianos (YPFB). Achá, who has held the post on an interim basis since the end of last year, replaces Carlos Villegas, a longtime Morales ally who recently died of cancer. Achá, who is just 33, has a tough task replacing his mentor who had brought much needed stability to Bolivia’s largest state-owned company when he took over in 2009.
