WARNING: the following facts are just the gyst of what i have heard in regards to Bolivias government
So the Bolivian Government is far from stable and just, our president Evo Morales is about the worst thing that could have happened to Bolivia; he is an uneducated, radical leader who only represents the indigenous people of Bolivia (as he is an indigenous himself). You might be thinking, How did he get elected then? and that answer comes with a story. Elected in 2003, Carlos Mesa became a president that was actually trying to benefit Bolivia. He started controlling the economy and also the production of coca ( a drug illegal in other countries but not in Bolivia). In order to control the coca production and to stablize the economy Mesa enlisted the help of the American government and well that caused an uproar among the indigenous. Because Bolivia is 75% indigenous people, there was a huge problem, they started a march from Cochabamba all the way to La Paz in order to get Mesa out of the government, there were riots and police baricades to prevent the people from actually entering the government buildings to come after Mesa; they left him with no choice, in 2005 at the time of the protests, Mesa fled to the United States where he is now living due to Poiltical Exile, had he stayed in Bolivia, he would have been executed.
Now after Mesa fled, Bolivia was without a President so the vice president Eduardo RodrÃguez stepped up, he only lasted 7 months though before stepping down, therefore opening up a new election period. Did I mention that the person who lead the protests with the indigenous was Evo Morales? Yeah well with his radicalness and the 75% of the population behind him, he won the election and has been dragging Bolivia backwards since. Morales has made it illegal to have certified religious schools, you are not aloud to hold graduations at hotels for some reason, certain types of people are no longer certified to get licence plates, even if they were before, he has changes all the laws so that he can be the highest of power in all aspects; such as Judicial and political and he has an complete veto right to everything. The worst part is that everything that he does only benefits the indigenous and makes everyone else (like the people who pay their taxes and dont suck up government funds) suffer. He is also making a mockery of Bolivia in other countries because apparently i can speak better spanish than he can. GGGGOOOOO BOLIVIA!~
