Footage from Surprise Morales, Quiroga, Reyes Villa Meeting in Cochabamba

In the midst of the rising and worrisome tide of political combat between the nation’s rival political factions, three of the nation’s key political figures came together for a surprise meeting in Cochabamba on Thursday. Behind closed doors and away from public view, President Evo Morales, PODEMOS leader Jorge Quiroga, and Cochabamba Governor Manfred Reyes Villa held what was a strange meeting to see if they could work through their well-known political disputes.

While we don’t know the results of that meeting, an enterprising Democracy Center volunteer was able to capture footage of the session, which we have posted here.

A note to readers: We think that it is important to try to maintain at least some sense of humor, even in the midst of current events.
