AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoBolivia Crisis, Fresh Moves: President Rodrigo Paz announced a cabinet reshuffle and a new Social Economic Council meant to bring protesters’ demands into government talks, after weeks of roadblocks and unrest that have left La Paz tense and shortages worsening. Street Pressure: Protesters—miners, farmers, Indigenous groups, and transport workers—continue to demand Paz’s resignation and elections within 90 days, warning of “bloodshed” if he won’t step aside. Security vs. Dialogue: Paz rejected “negotiating with vandals” after looting and arson, while authorities keep a heavy police and military presence around key institutions. Regional Fallout: The diplomatic fight is widening: Bolivia expelled Colombia’s ambassador after Gustavo Petro backed the protests as a “popular insurrection,” and the U.S. has publicly framed the turmoil as an attempted “coup d’état.” Local Life, Still Moving: Amid the turmoil, community events and education stories—like graduations and water-safety outreach—show how daily life keeps trying to function.
