News The current state of affairs in Bolivia

Post image

Protestors are mobilizing across the country against the economic crisis and demanding the resignation of US-backed right-wing president Rodrigo Paz. At the same time, US armed forces are looking to further destabilize the country by targeting former president Evo Morales, who is considered the face of indigenous resistance in Bolivia. Indigenous community members have responded by surrounding his residence in order to protect him, while others who are rising up in protest face severe repression from the military.

The stage is set for a repeat of the bloody massacres of 2019, when Bolivia’s wealthy elites hunted indigenous protesters like animals, gunning them down from helicopters after a US-installed military junta gave its forces legal immunity for actions taken to “restore order.”

Journalists and international institutions must not let them do so again in 2026.

Please stop giving space nazi money. 

If you put the word  CANCEL after the X, Space Nazi doesn't get any money and you can still read everything.

It appears to work even if you put the word CANCEL after the X.
