AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Protest Crisis in La Paz: Bolivia’s capital is effectively under siege again as anti-government crowds and blockades intensify, with tear gas, firecrackers and dynamite reported around Plaza Murillo and shops shuttered as fuel, food and medical supplies run short. Government Response: President Rodrigo Paz’s administration says it will not declare a state of emergency, arguing it would deepen polarization, while it moves to “tough and strict” measures and boosts police and armed forces in La Paz and El Alto. Humanitarian Strain: Road closures have left hospitals short of oxygen and ambulances stuck, with authorities linking deaths to blocked access. Detentions and Escalation: Clashes have led to dozens of arrests, including a terrorism-related warrant against labor leader Mario Argollo, as protesters demand Paz’s resignation. Root Causes: The unrest is tied to soaring costs, fuel instability after subsidy cuts, and wider anger over land and privatization pressures.
