AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoBolivia Emergency: President Rodrigo Paz declared a nationwide state of emergency after more than six weeks of anti-government protests and road blockades choked fuel, food, and medicine—especially in La Paz and El Alto. The 90-day measure gives the military broader powers to help police clear roads, with curbs on blockades and other restrictions aimed at restoring transport and access to hospitals. Protests and Fallout: Authorities report at least 365 arrests and 37 injuries, while human rights groups and the ombudsman link at least 17 deaths to delayed medical care caused by the gridlock. Deal, but Not Peace: Paz announced the emergency hours after reaching an agreement with the main labor federation (COB) to end demonstrations, but some unions and protest groups rejected the pact and vowed to continue. On-the-Ground Response: Reports say police and bulldozers began moving to remove barricades, with heavy security around key areas, as Paz warned protesters they would face “the full force of the law.”
