AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoBolivia Emergency Response: President Rodrigo Paz declared a nationwide state of emergency after 50 days of road blockades choked fuel, food, and medicine, isolating La Paz and El Alto and contributing to deaths tied to lack of medical access; the decree expands military powers to dismantle barricades, while authorities say dialogue remains open and protesters face legal consequences. Road Clearing & Logistics: Security forces began clearing major routes, with the government aiming to reopen highways within 24–48 hours and restore freight and public transport corridors, after earlier talks with the COB failed to stop all blockades. Labor Deal Under Strain: A 90-day agreement with the Bolivian Workers’ Confederation was announced as a path to de-escalation, but indigenous and peasant groups—especially in the Chapare region—rejected it and vowed to keep protesting. Industry Watch: The crisis is already hitting production and supply chains hard, with reported economic losses reaching about $3 billion (around 6% of GDP), raising pressure on Bolivia’s industrial and mining-linked logistics.
