Bolivia's President Declares State of Emergency Over Blockade Crisis

Updated on
ai generated text

President Rodrigo Paz declared a national state of emergency on June 20 amid escalating anti‑government protests that have blockaded key roads, disrupting food, fuel and medical supplies. While he signed agreements with some unions—most notably the Bolivian Workers’ Confederation (COB)—protests continue and many demand his resignation. The decree aims to allow police and military to restore order, but critics warn it could further strain government resources and fuel unrest.

    1. Meanwhile, Bolivia needs to recover its roads, guarantee supplies and return to normality.
    2. This state of emergency is not intended to take away normality but to restore it.
    3. Bolivians cannot continue to be hostages of blockades that prevent working, studying, receiving medical attention, supplying themselves, and bringing sustenance to their homes.
    4. I have arranged for the implementation of the State of Exception to free the country's roads.
    5. After exhausting all avenues of dialogue, reaching agreements with those whose demands were legitimate, and identifying those who used violence in an attempt to destabilize Bolivia, we made the decision to declare a state of emergency across the entire national territory.

    1. We are restoring peace of mind to the country. With the State of Exception [sic], banks and financial services operate with full regularity so that the effort of Bolivia does not stop. We protect the productive apparatus and ensure that the fruit of this work reaches every corner.
