In an interview yesterday with AP, Bolivian President Evo Morales said that upon losing a recall referendum he is currently proposing as an out of the current crisis in the South American country, he would call immediately for new presidential elections. But what’s good for the goose, as they say, is also good for the 6 out of 9 governors who have rallied against Morales and his proposals that would redesign the government and redistribute land.

If Morales is looking for signs of hope, he isn’t finding the inside his country. The opposition has walked out of Bolivia’s constitutional assembly and street protests have pretty much shut down parts of Bolivia. He won’t find much hope outside his borders either . While his new constitution is expected to be approved by allies next week, there’s no telling what will happen in the national referendum. Look what happened in Venezuela.
