“It’s About People Feeding Their Families”: #Indigenous-Led #AntiAusterity Protests Rock #Bolivia

#DemocracyNow, May 29, 2026

"Protests in Bolivia are demanding the resignation of #RodrigoPaz, the country’s first #RightWing president in decades. Since #Paz took office in November 2025, the country has been placed under austerity measures that have led to a surge in poverty rates for much of Bolivia’s rural and working-class population. We speak to Kathryn Ledebur, director of the #AndeanInformationNetwork in #CochabambaBolivia, about the monthlong protests. 'Bolivia is a country where, for 19 years, #IndigenousPeople and social movements enjoyed equal rights and political inclusion,' she explains. 'There’s a huge break between what Paz promised and what he’s done in practice, which is select a white, upper-middle-class Cabinet with only two women, reject any genuine dialogue, reject interaction with the Bolivian social movements, or even have any empathy for people and what they’re going through day to day.'

"Ledebur also discusses the Paz administration’s growing ties with the Trump administration as the U.S. seeks to expand its so-called war on drugs throughout Latin America."

“It’s About People Feeding Their Families”: Indigenous-Led Anti-Austerity Protests Rock Bolivia

Protests in Bolivia are demanding the resignation of Rodrigo Paz, the country’s first right-wing president in decades. Since Paz took office in November 2025, the country has been placed under austerity measures that have led to a surge in poverty rates for much of Bolivia’s rural and working-class population. We speak to Kathryn Ledebur, director of the Andean Information Network in Cochabamba, Bolivia, about the monthlong protests. “Bolivia is a country where, for 19 years, Indigenous people and social movements enjoyed equal rights and political inclusion,” she explains. “There’s a huge break between what Paz promised and what he’s done in practice, which is select a white, upper-middle-class Cabinet with only two women, reject any genuine dialogue, reject interaction with the Bolivian social movements, or even have any empathy for people and what they’re going through day to day.” Ledebur also discusses the Paz administration’s growing ties with the Trump administration as the U.S. seeks to expand its so-called war on drugs throughout Latin America.

Opinion: Outrage over Northland Tales program hypocritical

Mud-slinging isn’t stopped by slinging more mud — and the concept behind the satirical TV show Northland Tales is an attempt to harmfully engage with a set of harmful beliefs and behaviours.
