More on the capital controversy

Eduardo Avila at Global Voices has more on the recent cabildo in El Alto against moving the seat of power (La Paz). The post includes a number of links to Bolivian bloggers from different points of view.

It’s more precise to refer to La Paz as the “seat of power” (sede de gobierno), since it’s not technically the capital (Sucre is still the “constitutional” capital of the republic). Meanwhile, residents of Sucre are mobilizing tomorrow.
