AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoBolivia Crisis Update: After nearly 50 days of anti-government road blockades, President Rodrigo Paz declared a 90-day state of emergency, authorizing soldiers and police to clear highways and reopen routes for fuel, food, and medicine; early signs of easing followed as the Legislative Assembly approved the decree and key blockades began lifting, including an agreement in San Julián (Santa Cruz) and a protest pause announced by a La Paz campesino federation, though cleanup and repairs are still needed and a military support flight crash killed six. Protest Backlash: Grassroots and Indigenous-linked organizations rejected the emergency as “militarization of social life,” vowing to keep mobilizing and even expand road blockades in places like Cochabamba. Cultural Spotlight: Guitarist Berta Rojas released La Huella de las Cuerdas, a multimedia project tracing how early European guitars and vihuelas reshaped South American and Caribbean musical traditions through collaborations with ethnic-instrument virtuosos.
