AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoBolivia Protests: Anti-government protests surged again in La Paz as miners and rural unions clashed with police, with reports of explosions during marches toward Plaza Murillo and attempts to reach the presidential palace; demonstrators are demanding President Rodrigo Paz’s resignation amid a worsening economic and fuel crisis, highway blockades, and a growing indigenous long march toward the capital. Labor & Policy Pressure: The unrest is now in its third day of a general strike tied to fuel subsidies, social welfare, mining contract rules, and the fallout from the repeal of Law 1720, which opponents say would open Indigenous and peasant lands to corporate interests. Regional Context: Across the Andes, other pressures are building too—like Colombia’s armed groups facing renewed ICRC calls to stop targeting civilians—while Bolivia’s own crisis keeps tightening the spotlight on governance and basic services. Humanitarian & Solidarity: Palestine Solidarity Group marked Nakba Day, linking today’s displacement to Gaza and the West Bank.
