Relations with Brazil under pressure
Last month, the Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) government led by President Evo Morales announced various energy accords with neighbouring Brazil – its most important export market (where hydrocarbons account for the overwhelming bulk of sales). The prospect of closer cooperation comes, however, amid the threat of fresh tensions over calls for the Brazilian authorities to hand over a Bolivian national who is under investigation in relation to the 28 November plane crash in Colombia, involving a Bolivian plane, which killed 71 people (including most of the members of Brazilian football club, Associação Chapencose de Futebol).
