The Associated Press: Bolivia constitution would empower Indian majority
Today of course there is lots of reporting on the voting on the new constitution. This one gives a balanced view and the last line catches some of our own feeling. The indigenous population is a majority here, yet has been without power at the national level until the election of Evo a few years ago. While the changes that the new constitution will bring may be bittersweet for the long-in-control class, it will hopefully bring needed change to the wide base of the pyramid.
