Experts: Is Bolivia on the Brink of a Coup Amid Economic Crisis?
Bolivia's economic crisis has escalated into a major political upheaval, with road blockades paralyzing supplies and causing shortages of fuel, food, and medicine. The government is considering military involvement, raising fears of further violence.
Bolivia is experiencing one of its most severe political crises in recent years, triggered by an economic downturn. Protesters have extensively used road blockades, disrupting supply chains and leading to acute shortages of fuel, food, and medicine. Long lines are seen at gas stations and stores as people struggle to obtain basic necessities. In response, the government is increasingly resorting to force and is considering deploying the army to break the blockades. Analysts express concern that the government may not be able to restore control without opening a new chapter of violence. The use of the military could escalate tensions and potentially lead to a coup. The situation remains volatile, with international observers calling for dialogue to prevent bloodshed.
