Bolivia in Turmoil: Political Upheaval and Economic Crisis

Bolivia Today: Political Shifts and Economic Unrest Santa Cruz, Bolivia – June 10th, 2025 – Bolivia is experiencing a confluence of significant events, as reported in a recent eju.tv news segment. The video highlights key developments in the political landscape and the growing social unrest fueled by economic concerns. One prominent event is the endorsement of presidential candidate Tuto Quiroga by the Nationalist Revolutionary Movement (MNR). Javier Rojas, a party representative, stated, "The MNR has decided to support Quiroga's candidacy." However, the party will not actively participate in the election under its own legal banner. Another key development is the withdrawal of the Christian Democrat Party (PDC) from the upcoming elections. A representative from the PDC's national committee confirmed that the party has officially withdrawn its candidacy, citing a desire for unity within the opposition. Meanwhile, social conflicts are escalating due to economic hardship. Gremiales (street vendors) and miners are protesting, demanding government intervention to address the rising cost of living and fuel shortages. One gremial leader stated, "This isn't political; we're in the streets because we can't afford the rising prices anymore." The situation is further complicated by reports of fuel shortages and blockades of fuel distributors. The government is under pressure to address these issues and restore stability.
