AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

La Paz Under Siege: Anti-government protests against President Rodrigo Paz surged again, with protesters and riot police clashing in the city center—tear gas, roadblocks, and shortages hitting food, fuel, and medicine as demonstrators demand Paz’s ouster less than six months into his term. Economic Anger: The unrest is tied to Bolivia’s worst crisis in decades, with April inflation at 14% and fuel-subsidy cuts blamed for worsening daily life. Crackdown Escalates: Prosecutors moved to criminalize leadership, issuing terrorism-related arrest warrants for union and grassroots figures, while officials cite looting and blocked ambulances. Church Calls for Pause: Bolivia’s Catholic bishops urged “humanitarian pauses” and dialogue, warning that suffering is rising even as political tensions harden. Regional Echoes: Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro publicly backed the idea of a “popular uprising,” drawing sharp rejection from Paz—adding diplomatic heat to an already volatile moment.
