AGP Executive Report
Last update: 16 minutes agoRoadblock Crackdown: Bolivia launched an early-morning operation to clear roadblocks outside La Paz, deploying about 3,500 police and soldiers and arresting at least 57 people, after protesters—schoolteachers, transport workers, Indigenous groups and others—blocked routes for weeks over wages, economic stability, privatization concerns, and calls for President Rodrigo Paz’s resignation. Humanitarian Pressure: Authorities said the goal was to reopen a “humanitarian corridor” so food, medicine and oxygen can reach hospitals, as fuel shortages and rising prices have worsened the crisis. Political Fallout: The unrest comes alongside fresh legal and political strain, including prosecutors seeking the arrest of former President Evo Morales after a court no-show. Land Rights Fight: In parallel, Indigenous and rural groups forced the repeal of Law 1720, a move aimed at protecting communal landholdings and stopping what they call anti-protest and privatization pressures.
