Bolivians reelected incumbent Bolivian president Evo Morales on Sunday. Morales decisively defeated his eight challengers by winning 68 percent of the vote. "Evo Morales has a mandate unlike any other president in the hemisphere," commented Cochabamba Democracy Center analyst Jim Shultz. Morales is expected to continue his program of change for Bolivia.

I feel sooo incredibly uncultrued. You wrote this well- but I have no idea what the political situation is like in bolivia.
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting summary. I probably wouldn't have even known about this event if I hadn't read your summary. I think it is so interesting how many people are never even aware of what is going on in other countries sometimes.
ReplyDeleteThis is really cool that you picked something like this. I wouldn't have known about it otherwise.
