Evo Morales: reshaping the country to help indigenous people.

BOLIVIAN President Evo Morales has inaugurated an assembly to rewrite his 
country's constitution, hoping to empower the poor indigenous majority and 
cement his leftist reforms.

Mr Morales, who took office as Bolivia's first Indian president in January, 
called the nationally elected constitutional assembly a "refounding" of the 
country.

"The big day has finally arrived for our native peoples. If we do not resolve 
the problems of our Aymaran, Quechuan and Guarani brothers, we will never be 
able to end our country's social and economic problems," he said.

Mr Morales believes the assembly is a legal framework to allow him to reshape 
his country's history and end centuries of discrimination against indigenous 
people, who represent more than 60 per cent of the population.

The assembly will have up to a year to create a new constitution expected to 
address issues such as land reform, indigenous rights and greater autonomy for 
Bolivian provinces.

Thousands of Bolivians trekked from mountain hamlets and urban centres to crowd 
the narrow streets in Sucre, Bolivia's constitutional capital, to celebrate the 
start of the assembly.

Leading opposition groups say they fear Mr Morales will entrench a left-wing 
agenda in the constitution.

But the lack of a majority by Mr Morales' party suggests he will have to 
moderate his leftist stance if he is to achieve some of his radical proposals.
