AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoLa Paz Under Siege: Thousands of miners, peasants, and Aymara and El Alto neighborhood groups clashed with police at Plaza Murillo as protesters tried to push into the seat of power, throwing dynamite and rocks while riot police responded with tear gas; the Army stayed on standby, and the mobilization is now the biggest test for President Rodrigo Paz in six months. Wider Anti-Government Push: The march—linked to Evo Morales and framed as a “non-betrayal pact”—has grown from demands over wages, fuel shortages, and privatization into calls for Paz’s resignation, with road blockades choking food, fuel, and medical access. Legal Pressure & Church Plea: Bolivia’s attorney general moved to issue a terrorism warrant against COB leader Mario Argollo, while Catholic bishops urged “humanitarian pauses” and dialogue as shortages and deaths linked to blocked ambulances mount. Foreign Spotlight: Separate coverage also flags claims of US-Israeli plans facing resistance in Bolivia, adding to the political heat.
