First it needs to become organized, draft a charter, and be recognized as a party. Those discussions are private.<br /><br />I'm sure that Lobo Sosa believes that there will be proposals made by the Frente that could be considered in isolation as possible proposals by his government. In practice that assumes that the Frente will talk to him (they consider him illegitimate) and that piecemeal changes to a bad constitution will move things forward with respect to popular democratic participation. <br /><br />Even if Lobo Sosa were to put forward a large part of the Frente's suggestions for reform, it still must pass this Congress, which is more than willing to set itself up as an obstacle to any meaningful change (see next posting).<br /><br />Its hard to see how that would work and satisfy any of the demands of the Frente overall.<br /><br />Again, Lobo Sosa will only speak with organizations, not people. People who are not part of recognized national organizations are voiceless in this process. That's most of the population.<br /><br />Watch for a post in the next few days on the evolving political thought within the Frente.RNShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14197289255196253989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1338612245455097792.post-75713294103515619862011-07-04T07:41:41.321-07:002011-07-04T07:41:41.321-07:00Are there aspects of the Frente's platform tha...Are there aspects of the Frente's platform that could be passed through the existing process without a Constituyente? If the FARP were to win a significant portion of seats in the next congressional elections, what will their legislative agenda look like?bozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13233148632004720002noreply@blogger.com
