Bolivia is experiencing a deep economic, political, and social crisis, currently reflected in the shortage of food, fuel, and imported products; the inflationary escalation; the devaluation of the Bolivian currency (boliviano); and a rise in social conflicts. This situation, rooted in the structural dependence on rentier capitalism and the crisis of the extractivist model, has worsened due to misguided government measures, such as the liberalization of meat and other food exportations.

Military coup in Bolivia: Is a coup d'état in progress?
By Camila Azeñas and Gustavo Baldiviezo*
Taking into account what happened on June 26, in when a group of soldiers was stationed in Murillo Square challenging the government of Luis Arce, it is necessary to review the background, the specific events and the possible objectives of this coup adventure.
Bolivia is one of the countries that has had the most coups d'état throughout its history, so we believe that an event of this type cannot ignore the workers, nor be subject to trivialization, as has been the case on the part of the of the opposition and groups related to Evo Morales.

Bolivia's jailed dictator Jeanine Áñez nominated for EU's Sakharov Prize!

Nonetheless, the actual aim behind this “award” is the attempt of the European Union to present herself as a “defender of human rights”, to reward the stooges of imperialism and to promote anti-communism.

Evo Morales, Alexis Tsipras and... "revolutionary realism"
By Nikos Mottas.
It was truly sad watching Bolivian President Evo Morales becoming part of Alexis Tsipras' propaganda just months before Greek elections. Because that is what Tsipras actually tried during Morales' visit in Athens two days ago.
Having the President of Bolivia by his side and in front of Greek and foreign reporters, Tsipras engaged into an endless jabbering about the "common struggles of the progressive forces", talked about "democracy and social justice", the "21st century left", etc.
