Bolivia is experiencing significant political and social tension as supporters of former President Evo Morales planned marches toward La Paz to protest government decrees regarding diesel subsidies and the reorganization of state enterprises. In response to these tensions and rising transnational organized crime, President Rodrigo Paz proposed a regional security shield involving coordination with neighboring countries.

Following these developments, Minister of Government Marco Antonio Oviedo announced that the administration of President Rodrigo Paz Pereira would intensify operations against organized crime. The government stated it would not allow criminal organizations to use Bolivian territory as a refuge, though officials emphasized that all police interventions and investigations would be conducted within existing legal frameworks and respect due process.
