Will the new government follow responsible economic policies, or will Bolivia flirt yet again with destabilizing populist measures, as it has done so often in the past? Will Morales renegotiate the laws and contracts governing Bolivia’s vast natural gas reserves, as his government is rightly committed to do, in a way that does not scare away urgently needed foreign investment?
当然，莫拉莱斯的当选也引发了很多重要的短期疑问。新政府是否会执行负责任的经济政策？玻利维亚是否仍然会像以前那样，耍些民粹主义政策的花样，进而影响到国家的稳定？莫拉莱斯是否会行使政府的合法权力，重新谈判有关玻利维亚天然气矿藏管理的法律和合同，但又不把国家急需的外资吓跑？
