Bolivia: Broad Social Movement Pushing Morales' Reelection

  • 9 years ago
A broad social movement comprised of labor, campesino, and social organizations has emerged in Bolivia to push for the reelection of popular indigenous president Evo Morales for a fourth term in office in 2020. The Legislative Assembly approved such a bill, and it must now be ratified by voters in a referendum. Morales enjoys overwhelming support among Bolivians and despite opposition objections, a recent poll indicates 54% of voters favor his reelection. Dimitri O'Donnell reports from La Paz. teleSUR
