Bolivia: Fuel Scarcity, New Flights, and Friendship Day Celebrations

La Paz, Bolivia – July 23, 2025 – Reports from La Paz indicate widespread denunciations of irregular fuel sales, with diesel prices reportedly soaring to 25 Bolivianos per liter in some northern provinces.

The first flight departed for Guayaramerín, with additional routes planned for San Ignacio de Velasco and Riberalta. The inauguration ceremony saw the participation of President Luis Arce and other national and municipal authorities. Police and NABOL are overseeing the new operations. In Cochabamba, residents are celebrating Friendship Day on July 23rd. Young people are flocking to traditional markets, particularly the 'Correo' area, to purchase various gifts such as flowers, balloons, and chocolates.
