My summary of the break: woborders.blog/2020/10/22/mas-leaders-turn-page-from-evo/

The proposed counter-evidence: 1. Evo's lawyer Wilfredo Chávez on the transition team. 2. Evo says Arce, Choquehuanca we're "the deacons of my entorno" 3. Álvaro claims to be negotiating lithium w Argentina

4. Cocalero Andronico Rodríguez will lead Senate 5. Legislature moves to simple majority rule.
-
My read: 2 (& maybe 3) are verbal pushback that don't mean anything. 5 is as much Copa and Choque's MAS as it is Evo's. Not clear how empowering the legislative majority will affect internal struggles..…
