Bolivia: President Rodrigo Paz faces political pressure and party split

Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz is facing significant political pressure amid corruption allegations and social unrest. The PDC party has officially broken ties with the government, citing corruption and a loss of public trust. Additionally, the Asamblea de la Cruceñidad has issued an ultimatum to the government, setting an October 10 deadline and warning of potential mobilizations regarding the ongoing diesel crisis.

President Paz has addressed several controversies, including the investigation into an incident in Viacha and allegations involving Cerimedo, who reportedly failed to honor the trust placed in him. Paz also denounced corruption within YPFB during the previous MAS administration while relaunching crude oil refining efforts. Meanwhile, legislators are demanding clarity regarding the deployment of soldiers during recent explosions.
