	Carlos Mesa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The chief justice of the Supreme Court, Eduardo Rodríguez, was sworn in as interim president to succeed the outgoing Carlos Mesa.
		Bolivia's next presidential elections were scheduled for 2007, but Mesa was quick to point out that his administration was transitional and that he did not intend to complete Sánchez de Lozada's term in office.
		This time, however congress accepted his offer, the presidents of the two chambers of Congress at that point abdicated their constitutional powers in favor of the chief justice of the Supreme Court and new president of Bolivia, Eduardo Rodríguez.

		This time, however, analysts said lawmakers frustrated over Mesa's inability to persuade leftist popular forces to accept a law to increase gas taxes would probably accept his resignation and hope a transitional leader would be able to reconcile the country's polarized political forces.

	Throwing Out a President (Bolivia)
		Bolivian President Gonzalo Sanchez de Losada fled La Paz in a helicopter October 17 as hundreds of thousands of Bolivians overran the streets of the capital city demanding his resignation and prosecution.
		As the strike became increasingly identified with the fight to reclaim natural gas from the transnationals, and as anger grew at the mounting numbers of indigenous protesters gunned down by the military in the altiplano, the cocaleros (coca farmers) joined in.
		Evo Morales's MAS exerted a tremendous amount of pressure between October 15 and 1 7 to ensure that the outcome of the protests would be a constitutional succession: the resignation of the president followed by the swearing in of the vice president.

	Blog from Bolivia
		For those trying to follow the pivotal issue of coca here in Bolivia this week, it has been like watching a three year old giving it all she has on a swing.
		Then the President of the Senate (a member of Morales' MAS party) announced publicly that press coverage of the media spokesman's comments didn't accurately describe the government's position.
		In Bolivia, that has evertything to do with why the political parties that have served the political elite for half a century are now as dead as the stegsaurus.

		Bolivia, Dec. 18 - Evo Morales, a candidate for president who has pledged to reverse a campaign financed by the United States to wipe out coca growing, scored a decisive victory in general elections in Bolivia on Sunday.
		His margin of victory appeared to be a resounding win that delivered the kind of mandate two of his predecessors, both of whom were forced to resign, never had.
		Morales could be on his way to becoming "the president with the most legitimacy since the transition to democracy" from dictatorship a generation ago.

	Bolivia's Home-Grown President
		On its face, the election of Evo Morales to the presidency of Bolivia would seem like an enormous victory for the left--another domino in the line of Latin American nations turning away from Washington Consensus-style economics to forge a path of its own.
		But the question remains whether the first indigenous president in Bolivia's history will be allowed--by the Bolivian Congress or by the larger international financial and legal system--to live up to his promises and fulfill the enormous expectations of his supporters.
		In Bolivia the United States is not only a symbol of foreign capital but of the bitter "war on drugs" that strong-armed Bolivia into accepting a US-financed coca eradication campaign that even the World Bank has admitted bears responsibility for Bolivia's continued poverty.
