Bolivian Elections Need Miracle
La Paz, Oct 18 (PL) The Chamber of Deputies of Bolivia Monday restarted the search for a way out of the crisis imperilling the December 4 general elections.
The president of the Congress, Sandro Giordano, admitted that the legislative entity must solve before Thursday the dispute unleashed by a constitutional court´s decision, which stipulated redistributing constituencies under updated population criteria.
According to predictions, if a solution is not reached before Thursday elections must be postponed, an undesirable option for voters, social organizations and other groups.
The proposals show unyieldingness of regions positively affected by the redistribution and a conciliatory trend, which advocates reducing either the increase or decrease of seats.

That issue is the only obstacle blocking elections, after the constitutional court rejected two appeals last week which demanded nullification of the elections.
Meanwhile, regional pressures remain, with a mass hunger strike in the eastern region of Santa Cruz, demanding another four constituencies, and protests in southern regions of Potosi and Oruro, which refuse to accept a reduction of their seats.
