In the highlands and cities of Bolivia, a month of civil unrest has claimed ten lives and placed hundreds behind bars, as a nation buckles under the weight of its worst economic crisis in four decades. When inflation hollows out the daily bread of ordinary families, the street becomes the last forum available to the desperate. The government now weighs extraordinary legal powers to restore order, even as international allies offer their endorsement of its leadership — a reminder that external legitimacy and internal suffering can coexist in painful tension.
