Rodrigo Paz Pereira, elected in October 2025 and inaugurated that November, has faced sustained opposition protests and road blockades led by factions aligned with former president Evo Morales since mid-2026. These actions, lasting over 50 days in some periods, triggered fuel and supply shortages, prompting a June state of emergency, military clearances, and economic losses exceeding Bs 90 million. Paz's subsidy cuts, austerity steps including salary reductions, and justice reforms have fueled unrest, while the electoral authority has rejected resignation demands as antidemocratic. Recent diplomatic progress, including October 2026 agreements with Chile on trade, energy, and connectivity, alongside fuel supply normalization efforts, provide counterbalancing stability signals. Legislative alliances, potential constitutional reforms, and scheduled protests remain key variables that could influence removal timelines through impeachment, resignation, or other mechanisms.
