AGP Executive Report
Last update: a day agoBolivia Protest Crisis: Bolivia’s weeks-long anti-austerity uprising in La Paz and El Alto escalated as lawmakers moved to expand the president’s emergency powers and allow wider military deployment against protesters, while women’s marches on Mother’s Day in black mourned the dead and demanded the withdrawal of conscripted sons from repression. Dialogue Stalls: The La Paz Prosecutor’s Office revoked arrest warrants for two protest leaders—COB’s Mario Argollo and Túpac Katari’s Vicente Salazar—framing it as a condition for talks, but COB leaders rejected negotiations and called for intensified blockades. Local Life Under Pressure: Amid shortages and road disruptions, the government also signaled “breaking point” rhetoric and continued pressure on mobilized indigenous, peasant, and union groups. La Paz Culture & Mobility: Separate from the unrest, La Paz airport reported 12% passenger growth (Jan–Apr), with international gains tied to the Los Angeles route. Regional Crime Pact: Chile, Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador signed the Santiago Commitment to coordinate against transnational organized crime, linking security, immigration, and financial controls.
