Evo Has Supported Nationalization

Submitted June 7, 2005 - 3:52 pm by Dan Feder
Great analysis, Teo, and thanks for posting it. One correction though: it is not accurate to say that Evo Morales “has never said he supports nationalization.” It is true that the dreaded N-word was not mentioned during the long MAS March last month, where the demand was higher taxes. But he had certainly spoken of his support for nationalization in the past, and as I reported yesterday, this week Evo has begun to demand nationalization once again. Evo had said when he entered La Paz after the march that he would follow the wishes of his constituency on the issue; after the dramatic scenes of the last few days I would say his constituency has spoken.
