on the first of May, Evo Morales, president of Bolivia nationalised the "sub soil" hydro-carbon resources of his state with his now historic "supreme decree" 28,701.

Since then he went with all the other South American state leaders to meet with the leaders of the EU, & talk about - trade, commerce, business, economics, industry, finance, wrangling, wheeling & dealing, rackets, cartels, merchandising, traffic (all under one category we call "Capitalism") & other stuff like, human rights, poverty, ecology (carnival dancers), migration & development.

He got to stand next to Chirac for the family photo, and then went home, feeling more secure than in the last weeks, (the mafia didn't do the expected hit on him in Vienna --- what with Bertie Ahern watching ) and decided to issue another "supreme decree"....

And its a humdinger of a presidential decree! ( oh your correspondent is almost tempted to become a president of any state just to make decrees like this)

As of yesterday the Spanish based global bank BBVA has 3 days to surrender its shares in Bolivian hydro-carbon resources & exploitation.

This is jolly good news if you're into Justice, or felt bad the first time the letters "BBVA" appeared on our hallowed indymedia ireland screen - (When BBVA froze the solidarity accounts of the Zapatista network and sparked the "global red alert" of the EZLN last June, just one whole week before the then "mister Morales" emerged as popular leader of the Bolivian people.)

Of course this is jolly bad news if you're a BBVA stock-holder or in any way into Mafia Capitalism.
