AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Bolivia Unrest: Bolivia’s government struck a deal with protesting miners, but La Paz is still tense as other unions keep blockading roads into the capital. Street Violence: Reuters and AFP report tear gas, stone-throwing, and small explosions as miners march and demand fuel, work equipment, and easier access to explosives—while some protesters push for President Rodrigo Paz’s resignation. Economic Pressure: The unrest is tied to the country’s worst downturn in decades, with fuel shortages, a US-dollar squeeze, and weaker energy production feeding inflation and daily shortages. Regional Ripples: In a separate humanitarian move, Paz thanked Argentina’s Javier Milei for sending two C-130 Hercules planes to help airlift food to La Paz and El Alto amid road blockades. What’s Next: The deal’s details weren’t released, and the wider strike posture suggests more disruption ahead.
