A few days ago, a multiparty council came to a consensus on a model that would give department, municipal, indigenous, and “regional” (sub-department but larger than one municipality) autonomy. That consensus has now been rejected by indigenous community leaders (particularly those from CIDOB), leaders of department pro-autonomy movements, and the municipal governments represented in FAM (the Federation of Municipal Associations). That’s pretty much everyone, except the MAS leadership. Which leaves me wondering: Who supported this consensus? And did they ask anyone about it first? And will this quagmire ever end?

Everyone said “No”October 13, 2007Tags: Bolivia constituent assembly politics
CommentsI believe the "multiparty council" which came to a CONSENSUS is composed of other parties than just MAS?? Though it would be nice if all these external groups just let the CA do its job and make the decisions they were elected for, but as it seems we are going to have the most debated and scrutinized Constitution ever when this whole deal is over and that might be a great thing in the long run. Posted by Kausachun Gringos October 14, 2007 12:27 AM off topic... Posted by Kausachun Coca October 14, 2007 2:17 AM Yes, the multiparty council even included PODEMOS (see this post). So it's rather surprising that everyone said no. But perhaps it also shows that PODEMOS does not really lead the anti-MAS opposition (or that the anti-MAS opposition is more than merely PODEMOS or PODEMOS ploys).
