Bolivia in recovery - 3 part interview with Federico Fuentes

 

Part 1 - Federico Fuentes returns to Caracas after two weeks in Bolivia assessing the situation there after the attempted right wing coup last month. Morales seems to have outmanouevred the ultra-right's attempts to unseat him and appears to have made his own position stronger, while his enemies are in disarray. He is so confident of his support in the popular social movements now that he is holding another referendum next month. Download here
Part 2 - In this section he talks about the new strengths of the Morales government, from the popular social organisations, and support from other Latin American nations.
