Bolivia faces constitutional divides - 08 Dec 2007

When Evo Morales, the Bolivian president, was elected two years ago he promised to rewrite Bolivia's constitution to improve the lives of the indigenous majority, but this has led to a political crisis.

Bolivia's opposition, mainly the ultra-nationalist Socialist Phalange, says Morales reforms significantly heighten his own powers.

After 16 month, a constituent assembly approved a draft constitution but the opposition calls it illegal, Al Jazeera's Teresa Bo, has more on Bolivia's divisions.

Power to the Bolivian workers and poor! Down with the bourgeoisie!

Down with these white fascists. All power to the indigenous people!! There is no prospect for the privileges of the settlers being maintained as the indigenous rise to the rightful birthright of their national wealth so long denied them. If this means a war of revolutionary resistance to the white settler-colonial elites who want to maintain supremacy and inequality, so be it. I ain't on the fence, I side with the Aymara,the Quechua,the Guarani,the Chiquitano, the Original custodians of Bolivia.

If the mestizo and the whites hates Evo Morales politics so much they can imigrate too Europe. They allways talks about how proude they are to be european descendent, well go back to europe then. The truth is that the american native peolpe has the right to live in peace in their land without discrimination

[Indigineous]

We'll too bad for you and anyone who thinks they are better than the natives, bolivia is a democracy and the people have spoken......obviosly if your against evo your family is probably white or mestizo right? Your in a country where your the minority, you can either try to accept that or be in denial.
