As far as Bolivian President Evo Morales is concerned, yes: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7849666.stm Bolivian President Evo Morales has claimed victory in a referendum on a new constitution that aims to empower the country's indigenous majority. Addressing supporters outside the presidential palace, he said the result marked the birth of a new Bolivia. Exit polls put the "yes" vote at about 60% overall, but at least four of Bolivia's nine regions voted no. The constitution will allow Mr Morales to stand for re-election and tighten state control over the economy. "Brothers and sisters, the colonial state ends here," President Morales, an Aymara Indian, told crowds in front of the presidential palace in La Paz after results emerged. "Now Bolivia is being re-founded," he said. "Here we begin to reach true equality for all Bolivians."
