STATEMENT ON THE STRUCTURAL CRISIS AND ESCALATION OF VIOLENCE IN BOLIVIA
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.
