AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoBolivia Uprising Intensifies: La Paz is again in the grip of mass street action as protesters and riot police clash with tear gas, stones, and dynamite cartridges—while unions, farmers, miners, transport workers, and teachers press for President Rodrigo Paz’s resignation. General Strike Pressure: Four weeks into an indefinite COB strike, blockades are spreading and supply lines are getting choked, with shortages hitting food, fuel, and even oxygen for hospitals. Government Tries a Pressure Valve: Paz says he won’t resign and promises a cabinet reshuffle and a new “Economic Social Council,” but dialogue is tied to protesters’ demands to drop arrest warrants. Humanitarian Corridors Announced: The government says it will open “humanitarian corridors” Saturday to move supplies past blockades, with the Red Cross and Catholic Church involved. Regional Echoes: Evo Morales accuses the U.S. of fueling unrest, while U.S. officials label the protests a threat to “constitutional government.” Venezuela-US Tensions: Separately, Venezuela authorized U.S. embassy overflights for a drill, adding to the wider regional security backdrop.
