Hylton says that the leadership of the Bolivian state of Santa Cruz wants to create a system of "autonomy" that amounts to secession. They oppose Morales' reforms and overtly call for the 'leadership' of light skinned people over the indigenous peoples.

I don't think the Succession will or can succeed at all! They simply don't have the international support or the internal resources to go up against the Morale's government. Some neo-fascist thugs simply won't cut it... It's only a matter of time. =D
