MABB (the “other Miguel”) has an excellent summary of recent constituent assembly news. Today’s La Razón reports that delegates will decide the future of the assembly. One of the three options? Close the assembly. I’ve no idea what that would do to the process of writing a new constitution (though likely it would simply mean using the legislature to write a new constitution, as happened in 1995 & 2004).
I also wonder if anyone would miss the assembly, since it’s been mired for more than a year. But since closing it would be a huge PR failure for Evo’s government (which points to the assembly as a chief achievement of his administration), I doubt that option will win out. Of the other two options—reinitiate a Sucre-La Paz dialogue or move the assembly to another city (probably Oruro)—I think the latter seems more likely. And since Oruro is a pro-MAS bastion, I’m sure it’s an attractive option for the government.
