Bolivia is in crisis.
Since May 6, roadblocks led by different groups including those allied to former president Evo Morales have paralyzed La Paz, cutting off food, fuel, medicine and oxygen. 60+ checkpoints. 3 women are dead. This is what you need to know. 🧵

What we fight for and protect will always remain clear: to defend democracy, freedom, and citizens’ rights through nonviolent resistance.

From Ríos de Pie, we condemn all forms of violence as a mechanism of political pressure. Violence is not protest — it is coercion and destruction.

No political cause justifies spreading fear, paralyzing cities, or endangering Bolivian families.

Road blockades, attacks on vehicles, assaults on citizens, threats against workers, and the retention of vital supplies such as medical oxygen are putting lives, jobs, and our democratic stability at risk.

The country is once again being held hostage by a strategy of pressure and destabilization. Bolivia cannot continue paying the price of impunity and political violence.

His political leaders responded with threats: “If they touch Evo Morales, the country will convulse. Bolivia will convulse in ways you cannot imagine. There will be insurgency across the national territory,” stated Mendoza during a press conference.

Bolivia’s been facing an escalation of increasingly violent protests: blocked ambulances, attacks on civilians, destruction of public buildings. These groups demand President Paz’s resignation in a transitional government that has been 6 months in office.

En estos momentos, guardaparques del Parque Nacional Amboró se están preparando para ingresar a la zona en la búsqueda de uno de sus colegas y para brindar apoyo a las personas que permanecen en sus comunidades y lo han perdido todo.
La desesperación es comprensible, pero poner en riesgo más vidas solo dificulta el trabajo de los equipos de rescate.
NO ingresen a las áreas de peligro salvo que sea estrictamente imprescindible, siempre con la protección adecuada y extremando cuidados, especialmente evitando el ingreso con menores.
Nuestro rol es brindar apoyo logístico, entendiendo las necesidades del lugar, pero luego de ver la angustia de las personas de la zona, hacemos un llamado urgente:
Los helicópteros deben coordinar con los equipos en tierra para que cada vuelo sea efectivo y transporte la ayuda realmente necesaria. No necesitamos sobrevuelos con autoridades que no pueden aportar conocimiento técnico a la situación. Cada minuto, cuenta.
Beyond the arrest of Arce for corruption, there are numerous pending investigations involving human rights abuses, and a judicial reform is needed to restructure this branch of the state, which has been historically subordinated to the executive for decades.
Let justice be done.
uncovering the truth, recovering the public funds lost, and moving toward real justice for all victims of persecution, including Aramayo’s family.
We hope this case provides an opportunity to show that the law must serve the people, not those in power.
Yesterday, almost 11 years later, Luis Arce was arrested for breach of duties and economic misconduct in relation to this case, and this may be the beginning of a path Bolivia urgently needs:
Aramayo was imprisoned, transferred among 57 penitentiary facilities over 7 years, and never received a sentence. This inhumane treatment severely deteriorated his health, ultimately causing a cardiorespiratory arrest on April 19, 2022.
