Bolivia: Many groups have power, and even more people get nothing from it
Reporting from Bolivia describes a country marked by political polarization, deep inequality and recurring protests. The arrest of opposition governor Luis Fernando Camacho on allegations tied to the 2019 crisis triggered demonstrations, clashes and mass detentions; supporters reject the government’s coup narrative, while authorities defend the prosecution. Santa Cruz’s longstanding demands for a delayed census reflect disputes over representation, tax revenue and regional influence. The account also highlights poverty, unequal distribution of mineral wealth, dangerous mine labor and the marginalization of Indigenous communities and women. It briefly notes renewed unrest in Peru after Pedro Castillo’s removal.
