BOLIVIA: Morales talks more hot air
Gas in exchange for access to the sea. This was the eyebrow-raising proposal made by President Evo Morales to his Chilean peer, Sebastián Piñera, at the recent Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (Celac) summit in Chile. Morales’ proposal comes as relations remain tense amid Bolivia’s continued threat to take Chile before international courts over its historic claim to the Pacific. While Piñera rejected the proposal, declaring that “sovereignty issues are not to be negotiated with economic issues”, Morales was left open to charges of hypocrisy given his previous opposition to the strategy.
