Constityente clock extended

Bolivia’s legislature has agreed to extend the deadline for the Constituent Assembly by four months (until 14 December). This signifies a major commitment on the part of the major parties (MAS & PODEMOS) to continue the work of drafting a new constitution.

Additionally, the latest Apoyo poll saw Evo’s approval rating drop to 61% in July. And a Mori poll shows a majority (52%) of Bolivians oppose indefinite reelection of the president.
