Analysis: Crunch time for Bolivian gas

Posted by Matt in January 10th, 2008

Bolivian President Evo Morales faces an uphill battle to keep his nation whole as several eastern provinces, which hold the country’s lucrative gas reserves, are balking at his constitutional reform proposals. Among the proposals being put forward by Morales — Bolivia’s first indigenous leader — is a more equal distribution of the country’s revenue from natural gas by giving the cent … more

	Dancing with Evo Morales - Bolivia May 2006 He jokes that he's America's worst nightmare and plans to nationalise Bolivia's oil industry and overturn the old social order. As yet another South American country 'goes left', we profile Bolivia's new President. As a former union leader, Evo Morales is more accustomed to attacking governments than leading them. But Bolivia's first ever indigenous President has ambitious plans for his country. "Sooner or later there must be a profound transformation", he vows. "I want a new economic model." Morales' first objective is to seize back control of the country's national assets, including its enormous natural gas reserves. "Oligarchies won't just give up.

	Partido Inaugural Copa America 2007: Venezuela 2- Bolivia 2 Empate en San Cristóbal: Venezuela y Bolivia pactan a 2 goles debut en Copa América (26/06/2007) El encuentro inicial entre Venezuela y Bolivia culminó con un empate a dos goles por bando. Venezuela logró inaugurar el marcador en el primer tiempo, con gol de Maldonado, pero Bolivia descontó casi inmediatamente. En el segundo tiempo la vinotinto volvió una vez más a adelantarse con el tanto de Ricardo David Páez, pero los bolivianos lograron igualar casi al final del partido. Un penalty cometido contra el equipo local no fue sancionado por el árbitro, por lo que las acciones quedaron con el marcador igualado a 2. Venezuela y Bolivia obtienen así su primer punto cada uno en el Grupo A del torneo. Sus próximos compromisos serán el sábado 30 de junio cuando Bolivia enfrente a...

	When did the US "lose" Latin America? More at http://therealnews.com/c.php?c=080501YT When did the US "lose" Latin America? Forrest Hylton: The US is promoting secessionist movements to break up countries it cannot control Sunday May 11th, 2008 The United States first lost its influence in Latin America because of deals it made during the Cold War to prop up any dictatorship as long as it was anti-communist. Even Bill Clinton with his "free-trade" and drug eradication projects was not open to South American autonomy from Washington. Forrest Hylton is the the author of Evil Hour in Colombia (Verso, 2006), and with Sinclair Thomson, co-author of Revolutionary Horizons: Past and Present in Bolivian Politics (Verso, 2007). He is a regular contributor to New Left Review and NACLA Report on the Americas.
