AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoEmergency Response & Health Supply Disruption: Bolivia’s President Rodrigo Paz declared a 90-day state of emergency on Saturday, ordering soldiers and bulldozers to clear anti-government roadblocks that have choked fuel, food, and medicine—especially hitting La Paz and nearby El Alto—after more than six weeks of protests. Medical Fallout: Human rights groups and the ombudsman say at least 17 people died, largely linked to delayed medical care as patients couldn’t reach hospitals; authorities also cite shortages including oxygen in some facilities. Security Crackdown: The decree curbs protest rights and expands military deployment domestically, with reports of police and troops moving in convoys to reopen highways. Political Negotiations: Paz said dialogue avenues were exhausted and pointed to a deal with the Bolivian Workers’ Central (COB), though some groups continued blockades, keeping shortages and unrest in place.
