Bolivia

Postby longjonsilver on Tue Apr 29, 2008 7:43 pm

i just received this in my inbox from monty guild of guild investment management:
Some Bolivian departments (a political subdivision or province of which Bolivia has nine) are tiring of Bolivian President Evo Morales' Venezuelan style socialist autocracy. Several departments are considering voting on establishing regional autonomy. Four capitalist minded and richer departments in the East of Bolivia are planning referendums on regional autonomy. Two other departments are considering the same path. IF all six voted for autonomy it would represent two thirds of Bolivia's states and the great majority of its wealth. Such a succession may eventually lead to the break up of Bolivia as the public tires of government expropriation and corruption.

any thots?

I heard about this in late 2006, from what I have heard progress has been slow. Actually, a month or so ago I saw an interview with a former Clinton (Bill) adviser that was in Bolivia trying to help facilitate the process. Beyond that I don't know much about it.

yea, we heard they got a referendum on the ballot recently. That country is already so naturally divided in so many different ways, I don't know what a meaning a vote would have.
