In late October 2026, leadership and property disputes emerged in the Andean region. In Sucre, Bolivia, the Departmental Federation of Neighborhood Councils (Fejuve) of Chuquisaca rejected attempts to establish a parallel municipal structure, labeling the move an illegal effort by former leaders to divide the organization.

Simultaneously, in Juliaca, Peru, tensions rose regarding both organizational governance and land rights. Local leaders warned of a leadership crisis involving two competing sectors claiming presidency without legal recognition. Additionally, residents of the Villa El Carmen urbanization reported the alleged usurpation of approximately 200 land lots, involving a dispute over whether six hectares of land are private property or communal territory.
