Bolivian Union Leader Ousted Amidst Accusations of Right-Wing Ties

Andrónico Rodríguez, head of the Mamoré-Bulo Bulo agricultural union, was expelled from his post. The decision came after an assembly where he was accused of damaging the union's image, violating internal discipline, and collaborating with the right wing. The union's statement reads, "His actions have severely harmed our organization and its reputation." This event carries significant political weight, as the federation has openly endorsed Evo Morales' presidential candidacy. The expulsion of Rodríguez could impact the upcoming elections and the political landscape of Bolivia. Despite the accusations, supporters of Rodríguez claim the move was politically motivated. The situation remains tense, with the potential for further political fallout.
