AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoBolivia Protest Update: Bolivia’s unrest is still escalating, with 50+ active roadblocks, shortages reported in several cities, at least six deaths, dozens injured, and nearly 90 arrests as Indigenous, peasant, and union demands shift from land issues to fuel shortages and President Rodrigo Paz’s resignation. Repression vs. Dialogue: The La Paz Prosecutor’s Office revoked arrest warrants for two key protest leaders (COB’s Mario Argollo and Túpac Katari’s Vicente Salazar), a stated condition for talks—yet dialogue remains stalled and blockades continue. Labor Pressure: The COB is calling for Paz to step down and urging unity and permanent mobilization, while roadblocks remain concentrated around La Paz, Cochabamba, and Potosí. Community & Mobility: In La Paz, a solid waste transfer center is nearing completion, aiming to modernize garbage collection and reduce fuel use—an everyday-services story amid political turmoil. Rights & Safety Beyond Borders: A Bolivian asylum-seeker in Iowa, José Yugar-Cruz, received temporary release from ICE custody due to the Ebola outbreak risk in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
