Bolivian Labor Unions Announce Nationwide Protests Amidst Economic Crisis LA PAZ, BOLIVIA – Bolivian labor unions have announced plans for large-scale protests across the country this Wednesday, May 28, 2025, to demonstrate their discontent with the nation's worsening economic situation. The protests, expected to involve thousands of participants, will take place in at least four major cities: La Paz, Cochabamba, Sucre, and Potosi. The unions cite a critical shortage of dollars and fuel, alongside sharply rising prices for essential goods, as their primary grievances. Union leaders have sharply criticized the government's economic measures, describing them as "too little, too late." Tono Sinani, a union leader from El Alto, stated, "It's too late when there are already long lines to get oil, and the worst part is you have to consume two liters of oil for the whole month." This sentiment reflects the widespread frustration among Bolivians facing economic hardship. The protests are expected to be significant, with concerns about potential disruptions to daily life and the economy. The government's response to these concerns remains to be seen, but the scale of the planned demonstrations underscores the urgency of the economic crisis facing Bolivia. The coming days will likely bring further developments in this unfolding situation.
