Bolivian Federation Expels Top Officials for Alleged Betrayal

Internal Conflict Rocks Bolivian Federation: Top Officials Expelled for Alleged Betrayal The Mamoré-Bulo Bulo Federation in Bolivia is facing a major crisis after expelling two of its top officials, Andrónico Rodríguez Lemus and Eusebio Zárate. The expulsions, announced in a press conference on June 1st, 2025, stem from accusations of betraying the federation's core principles and collaborating with opposing political groups. The video released by Unitel Bolivia shows the press conference where the decision was announced. According to a spokesperson for the federation, "Andrónico and Eusebio prioritized their personal political ambitions over the interests of the federation and its members." The spokesperson cited instances where the officials allegedly undermined the federation's efforts to support the coca growers' movement, further fueling internal divisions. The expulsions have sent shockwaves through the federation, with some members expressing concern about the potential for further instability. However, others have voiced support for the decision, arguing that it was necessary to maintain the federation's integrity and protect its members' interests. The future of the Mamoré-Bulo Bulo Federation remains uncertain, but the event underscores the deep political divisions within the organization and Bolivian society.
