BOLIVIA: Prospects for constituent assembly look bleak
Both government officials and members of the opposition are openly talking
about the possibility of the constituent assembly failing. This would be a major
blow to President Evo Morales, who has set so much store by the assembly
redrafting the constitution to reflect his vision of a new Bolivia. The main
problem is the capital issue: differences between representatives from
Chuquisaca and La Paz are proving insurmountable and both sides abandoned talks
this week. "We cannot lie to the country, there is an enormous risk, faced
with the capital issue_ that the assembly will be unable to meet to discuss
other issues," the minister of the presidency, Juan Ramón Quintana, said.
