INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The Constitutional Court has stripped Evo Morales of his leadership role in the Movement for Socialism (MAS) party
This move effectively sidelines Morales from the party he founded in the 1990s
This court decision seems to confirm his suspicions
They also extended their own terms in office by suspending judicial elections
This further weakens his political position
Morales now finds himself without a party to represent in future elections.Morales faces other challenges too
Two pro-Morales farm leaders were arrested for their role in recent roadblocks
They face charges of terrorism and armed uprising
This appears to be another chapter in the power struggle between Morales and Arce
