A humanitarian corridor is a designated route for the passage of essential supplies like food, medicine, and other goods to civilian populations caught in conflict zones, typically requiring agreement between opposing parties. In Bolivia's 2026 crisis, the government's attempt to establish such a corridor failed because protesters refused to allow the passage of supplies, demonstrating that humanitarian corridors require mutual recognition of the conflict and willingness from all parties to allow civilian access. The failure of these corridors often reflects deeper political tensions and the breakdown of dialogue between government and opposition groups.

The truth is, my colleague doesn't [music] wither.
Chainbreaker with his voice that [music] all hear his ferocious roar. [music] Ufa, coleguingas, we are 165 on Saturday of mass. I think I'm going to start learning much earlier. Hey, good evening everyone. No, emergency Saturday mass.
Well, more than an emergency, because last Saturday I wanted to learn, but I already had other activities to do. Hello everyone, welcome to a new video here on my friend's channel. Well, it's been 22 days, we're not going to say of resistance, but of the siege of the city of La Paz, the city of El Alto, and therefore, we don't know what we're going to do anymore. We don't know what we're going to do anymore.
In fact, on Thursday, if I don't remember when it turned on, I think it was Wednesday, right? On Wednesday, when Rodrigo Paz, the current president of the Plurinational State of Bolivia, was giving his presidential speech, well, we realized that he doesn't want an anti-blockade law and therefore doesn't want to be president, and therefore the country doesn't have a president as such. Hm.
But what happened today, while it's like a remake of what happened last Saturday with the supposed unblocking of the supposed humanitarian corridor, people, I don't understand if it's the media's idea, or the idea of the state itself, of Rodrigo Paz's government, to categorize what happened today as a humanitarian corridor.
As far as I know, a humanitarian corridor should normally be framed within a context of war.
So, does the government acknowledge that there is a war against these social organizations, or does it refuse to acknowledge a war? Or, Rodrigo Paz, should we define once and for all whether we are at war or not?
Because the concept of a humanitarian corridor, which theoretically should be applied to armed conflicts or extremely acute crises, is simply not applicable to what we are experiencing. It doesn't make sense. And it doesn't make sense because of what happened today. The same thing happened again as last Saturday. They also tried to unblock it last Saturday. This time they carried white flags.
General B must be turning in his grave because the people, the police and military, must have mixed feelings, must have frustration within themselves at not being able to carry regulation weapons and having to carry white flags.
Rodrigo Paz. The patience of citizens is one thing, but the patience of the institutions that safeguard the institutions of the forces of order, let's talk about the police and military, also has its expiration time.
We as citizens, well, we just have to put up with it. We have to buy a chicken for 95 Bolivian bolivianos. And we're going to talk about the map case and we're going to talk about John Arandia's ideology, because to those who were saying to me, "Oh no, how can you say that John Arandia is left-handed?" In yesterday's interview, Friday, he demonstrated his ideological thinking.
And anyone who tells me that ideological thinking in Bolivia in 2026 doesn't matter, hasn't realized what country they live in yet. But anyway, we'll talk about that later. Hey, Bcer, right? Fito Charcas says, "Ber, who has weapons? You don't receive comrades and white flags." No, but well, Rodrigo Paz still wants to exhaust what is fair and necessary. I don't know that while theoretically Mauricio Zamora isn't his cousin, he is at least a relative, he's family at the end of the day, they almost took Mauricio Zamora away. They almost took it down from Mauricio Zamora. In fact, a couple of minutes ago, before it started and it was one of the reasons why I wanted to start Live, the whereabouts of the Minister of Public Works were unknown, well, I don't know what he has to do there, I don't know why Oviedo isn't there, I don't know why the Minister of Defense or some other guy isn't there, but the Minister of Public Works is there trying to clear the way, I suppose, because it has to do with roads, I don't know. They almost got rid of Minister Mauricio Zamore.
And in this country, when they catch an authority of that level, of that level of hierarchy, of that weight, it very rarely ends well.
If not, check with the deputy minister of mining or someone like that. We'll watch a video later. References to the colleague, everything will be there. Yeah, you made me see John Good Orlandia.
Andrés, how are you? Are you there, dear Andrés? How are you? Well, the egg has arrived, dear Andrés, because we were waiting. There isn't one yet. Some things have managed to reach the wholesale markets today, but very little. He was saved according to urgent information. Bo, at least according to the outlet that shared the story, is theoretically safe now, and according to colleagues who were here on Discord, he gave an interview on Red 1. We'll have to see the interview on Red 1 as well. We are now 218 colleagues. Phew! I'm going to think carefully about doing live streams every Saturday. So, ladies and gentlemen, the humanitarian corridor has not worked. It has not worked because the humanitarian corridor makes sense when it is applied in a context of high crisis and one of the participants recognizes that it is in an armed conflict. At least that's my interpretation of a humanitarian corridor: understanding that we're in a rather delicate context, and it's one of the ways, well, where two sides are facing off and they pause that confrontation to say, "We won't let the people caught in the middle of the conflict die of hunger."
And if the Rodrigo Pan government, the media, and all the paraphernalia are assuming that what has happened today has been a humanitarian corridor, well, let it be done as it should be done, understanding that there is a conflict of a scale that could escalate, excuse me, to figures that we cannot imagine and quantify, and God forbid, and also understanding that the government is assuming a role against an adversary, and I don't know if there is still a possibility of dialogue. I don't think so. The humanitarian corridor never existed. Correct. Is it true that Minister Zamora was kidnapped? No, rather than that. Except that for about an hour, maybe a few minutes, or at least it was a fairly long time, the whereabouts of Minister Zamora and his convoy were unknown.
Then we'll check it out a little while later, and as Nearielo says, Nearielo, greetings. Zamora was lucky this time, and it's great that you emphasize that last sentence this time.
And how lucky Rodrigo Paz was, because let's see what happened today with a policeman, at least a police officer, whose uniform I think was burned. They tied him up. He was there on his knees asking for the release of supposedly political prisoners and that [snort] he was asking for Rodrigo Pas to resign because otherwise they were going to set him on fire.
Hey, Pedro Felipe tells me, "That idiot Valverde criticized the request for General Bancer on Friday. It's still the same old story, remember, folks, Carlos Valverde, what's his name again?" This other lady, uh, Amalia Pando, or at least journalists of that generation, have a certain value, at least they have fought for democracy, well, they don't want to live through a dictatorship again, and what do I know, right? Those were pretty hippie days, but unfortunately what happened in the 70s and 80s is very different from what is happening today in 2026, where you have supposedly social organizations that at least have the backing of the IACHR. Do you know what the IACHR has said? The series has come out to say no, don't fight so much, just take it easy. It's like when your little cousins are playing at carnival with buckets of water, balloons, and foam, and your aunt comes out— because your aunt is theoretically the authority—and says, "Be careful, be careful, you might catch a cold." The IACHR is acting like an aunt. It's not doing anything, people, but watch out, some little angel might come out—well, nobody wants people to lose their lives, but the IACHR even less so—and give its usual moralistic speech.
So, we'll move forward, people, because today we have a lot, a lot to cover. It's really been quite a busy day.
I suppose the protests and demonstrations will continue on Monday, at least in the cities of La Paz and El Alto.
But don't worry, my dear colleague, while all this is happening, while they almost killed the Minister of Public Works, Mauricio Zamora, while they made a police officer kneel, while they destroyed tractors and machinery that were... Clearing the way while many people are suffering from hunger and can't afford a chicken. Don't forget that today is Anaí Merlín Guzmán's birthday.
So, the Chamber of Deputies has nothing better to do than dedicate a post to a deputy who is an alternate, to begin with, an alternate, a deputy from the National Unity party, and who, well, is there for the photo op.
So, don't worry, colleague, don't worry. Today is Aí Merlín Guzmán's birthday; she must be having a good time in Santa Cruz. Uh, she's turning 19, so she's already 19.
And well, let's celebrate, right? Meanwhile, here in La Paz, we're struggling between life and death.
That's right. This failed state. It's already a failed state, people, it's already a failed state. I, I can't understand what's going to happen in the next few hours, in the next few weeks. We're literally going to be A month like this.
I mean, not even in the war with Ukraine or in the Gaza Strip do I think these kinds of surreal situations could happen, but don't worry, today is Anaí Merlin Guzmán's birthday, so put out little cakes, light candles, put balloons in the chat because, well, don't worry, while the Chamber of Deputies is there, acting normal, as if none of this were happening, well, there it is, don't you see? There it is.
This is a message, I suppose a recent one, right? Because this was published half an hour ago, almost an hour, from President Rodrigo Paz.
The law requires me to use the Political Constitution of the State, which María Galindo, the queen, Surdicio, Ángel Cariaga, John Arandi, all those characters who like to write with their left hand, you know, who love to say that Evo's Political Constitution is not the CPE, it is not the Political Constitution of the State, it is the Political Constitution of Evo Morales, in case you haven't noticed. And I I have a video that explains it, just in case.
So, the law requires me to refer to Rodrigo Paz as the President of the Plurinational State of Bolivia.
Then, President Paz announces that through dialogue he reached an agreement with Adep Coca. I do n't know if Adep Coca was participating in demonstrations with roadblocks, I don't know what this is about, but let's listen. No, we must listen to the President's voice.
Happy with our comrades, dear comrades, very happy with our comrades from Adep Coca. I am with the Minister and the Vice Minister. We have just resolved a series of issues that are very important for the coca growers and the people of Yungas. For example, a hospital, an ambulance, favorable resolutions so they can work in peace, a series of necessary infrastructure projects.
We have done all this through dialogue, as it should be, dialogue at the table, identifying the problems, solving the problems, and cooperating so that not only the Yungas, but also La Paz and Bolivia can move forward.
Grateful to the people of It's time. It's through dialogue that the country moves forward, and these are the results.
Totally random, people, totally random. And good for the people at Adec, and well, for the northern regions of La Paz that are going to have this kind of state support, if you want to call it that, but totally random. It's like if your house is flooding, the living room is on fire, the TV is cutting out, your two-year-old sister is drowning, your cat has disappeared, and well, everything is starting to explode.
Your dad comes in and says, "I remodeled the bathroom, and now the mirror is bigger."
Seriously, dude, seriously.
I didn't know this.
I didn't know this. I watched the video because it was a message from Rodrigo Paz, so he must have said something interesting, right? But no, I can't believe it, people. I can't believe it. Let's keep moving forward. This is what happened, and that's why... I wanted to learn live in the first place, right? Breaking news: the whereabouts of Minister Mauricio Zamora are unknown after his convoy was ambushed in Copata. This was published by the explainer (spoiler alert). It has already been shown that Mauricio Zamora is safe and sound, right? But it was important to see the context.
Now, in search of the final credits to the explainer who [sighs] uh, what's the young lady's name? Pavón, I do n't remember her name.
Miss Pavón, at least, is constantly monitoring what's happening with the conflicts, the food shortages, and so on in the city of La Paz, in the city of El Alto, in the department of La Paz as a whole.
Very good work.
Now, regarding the convoy where the Minister of Public Works was traveling, the whereabouts of the official are unknown. The attack occurred in Copata. The minister's trail was lost during the attack, as he became separated from the group. The Ministry of Public Works had reported minutes earlier that there was extreme violence at the site and that the protesters were using dynamite. The roadblock personnel The man from Copata had to take refuge in a vault. Remember, the checkpoint personnel had to take refuge in a vault.
This is getting pretty big, folks. This is getting pretty big, folks. Brisa, Pavón, thank you very much, José Miguel. Minister Mauricio Zamora led the White Flags humanitarian corridor this Saturday to allow food and medicine to pass through the highways. I do n't want to think that Rodrigo Paz is going to sacrifice Mauricio Zamora, who is related to him, immolate him, and use that as justification to move forward with everything. I don't think so. And Rodrigo Paz, be careful that this plan backfires, because Mauricio Zamora is one of the ministers who has gained much more relevance in recent days, in recent weeks, right? Be careful, right? But well, for his safety, sources from Urgent Point affirm that the Minister of Public Works, Mauricio Zamora, is advancing along other routes to continue the Convoy. So, while it had disappeared from the map and radar for a while, it reappeared later, right?
It appeared... this was confirmed at 7:53 a.m. by the Bolivian media outlet FHD FH F10HD. The Minister of Public Works, Mauricio Zamora, managed to evade a violent ambush in the town of Copata. Unofficial reports confirm that the official and his team escaped via alternate routes towards Viacha to reach safety. Um, I understand that Red 1, for example, had an interview, right?
So, please confirm that information so I can look for it, obviously.
Um, Red 1 in Bolivia, I don't remember if they were still broadcasting the news, but at least at that time... San Juan is 10 days old.
Here it is, here it is. I love you very much.
Um, I suppose the full video of the Zamora interview is on Red 1's YouTube account, maybe. Let's see, we'll look for it there. Precise moment.
Uh, what else are they saying? So, how many of us are live now?
Wow! We're 397, almost 400. So, let's look at Red 1 right now and see what happened, shall we?
Videos.
Presidential spokesperson on family blockades regarding the police operation. That was intense. It seems the video itself isn't up yet. Here 's Minister Zamora. Let's listen.
In this humanitarian cordon, this process of clearing the blockades in this humanitarian cordon. It's been mentioned that the Minister of Public Works, Mauricio, was also leading this caravan.
That's how the day started, folks, that's how the day started. Obviously, like last Saturday, a week ago, where the police, Armed Forces, and well, machinery were trying to clear the roads, right? I mean, you ca n't do this just by carrying rocks, you absolutely need machinery, and this type of equipment was also stoned. Even though they were carrying white flags, folks, even though they were carrying white flags, [Music] They didn't care. In fact, I have a video right here, don't you? Uh, protesters are throwing rocks at heavy machinery that was clearing the tracks.
While one of the heavy machines was crossing in this area trying to clear the road, there was a group of people, including women, who started throwing rocks at the heavy machinery, breaking the windows. The machinery had to retreat, and as you can see, the police immediately arrived in this area to clear this small group of protesters who were throwing rocks at the heavy machinery. The protesters had to retreat to the back.
Sergio, come over here, please. They're still throwing some rocks with slingshots.
Look at that tiny group of people. In any case, they threw rocks toward the area where the heavy machinery was located.
The police immediately had to retreat to this spot to protect the machinery. As you can see, this is what the broken glass looks like.
Look, I mean, someone's going to have to pay for this, right? Uh, for the heavy machinery that was The road was broken after this group of protesters tried to obstruct the clearing work. Some people are currently protesting, protesting the presence of the police officers. However, we must point out that the police did not use chemical agents in this location; they only dispersed this group of people who were blocking the road in this sector, on the other side of the road.
In a moment, they're going to focus on the tractor with all its windows smashed. Imagine the tractor operator here heading towards the top of the hill. I'm going to show you how the machinery that was trying to clear these mounds of earth placed by the protesters ended up.
Look, completely broken, the windows are completely shattered. Ah, look at how this machinery ended up. The windows are totally destroyed. The driver had to escape. Sir, good morning.
And obviously, it's a tractor; you can't just put it in fifth gear and, well, escape from a rock, right?
Sir, are you alright?
Well, don't talk, but this is how this machinery ended up.
I imagine they're also people who must just be wandering around. I don't think he's, for example, a Croatian, right? Probably from Santa Cruz, right? They're surely also people who wander around. I was trying to clear this road.
At least one window has been broken.
So, that's how it started, that's how strongly today began, right? Look, hugs, not bullets. Ugh! References to Mexico, right? To Mexico. Mexico. Zamora. And at the time [music] it had been established that his whereabouts were unknown. Well, we've established contact with the Minister of Public Works to find out what his situation is and the situation of this humanitarian corridor. Minister, good evening. Where are you? Were you [music] in safe keeping? What happened with this unblocking and this retreat of the forces?
Carlos hasn't claimed because we're still in danger.
We're still in danger. Damn it.
This Mr. Mauricio Zamora, If he's okay right now, or if he was in communication with Red 1 in a live interview, let's hope the same thing doesn't happen as with Camacho. Do you remember what happened with Camacho when he arrived at the La Paz airport back in October, November of 2019, I think it was November 2019, right? During the 21 days of resistance and all that. And at the time, Luis Fernando Camacho said he had managed to leave the airport, but he said that to calm his family.
After a few hours, we found out that he was still trapped in the airport and couldn't leave because a mob had arrived wanting to lynch him, and even [music] want to kill him. Let's hope it's not the same situation, and Mauricio Zamora hasn't [music] given that message yet, at least not to reassure his family. We don't know.
In a remote area, far from the normal routes to La Paz. Then, after trying to get through several connecting points like San Antonio, let's go to Copatas, and we couldn't get through there. Because we were already ambushed with rocks and a lot of people with dynamite.
So, we had to— I'm going to turn up the volume a little because Zamora's audio is low— obviously we don't know where he is and the signal on the highway can't be the best, so we had to proceed because there weren't only police, military personnel, and others, but also civilians.
So it caused chaos, and I got a little separated from the convoys, and then I went back to the place, right? It was worrying because we had to take an alternate route, Juan Carlos. I mean, they were practically traveling in a convoy, and the vehicle that was carrying Mauricio Zamora, the Minister of Public Works, had to make its way through and take alternate routes to escape the onslaught against the entire convoy.
So, the driver took a risk. He was a hero; he saved his loved one. They ambushed us initially. But it was a total ambush because we couldn't go forward or backward. So, we're on the rocky road where we had to take the path to the mountain pass, and don't forget that we're already entering winter, so the sun sets much faster. This must have happened around 7 pm, probably.
And imagine going through the highlands, at least in these places where, I do n't know, there are people, I don't know, like a fleet with 50 police officers and the whole team, everyone goes, everyone comes back.
So, we waited for this fleet that asked us to come back at night, and things got a bit complicated because at night you can't see who's approaching. Some groups also approached to run errands, and right now we're on the road. I'm not saying we're in extreme danger, but we're still at risk, right?
We're still at risk, and this was at 8 pm, wasn't it, Minister? Let's see, you're going to return to La Paz with these officers, the convoy of Will the unblocking continue or will it practically all be called off?
I suppose it will be called off. They've already failed in the mission. It can't be done, people, it can't be done. The police and the military themselves must be feeling anxious about not being able to use the full force for which they have been partly trained. They're not going to pull an Illanes on him, buddy. Do you remember Yanes? Phew, I have a video talking about Yanes. He was the vice minister of mining cooperatives, something like that. But in Yanes' case, for those who remember, I think this happened around 2016 or 2017, if I remember correctly, or 2014, but it was before 2019. This vice minister, Yanes, also called, asked for help from the Minister of the Interior at the time, Romero.
A few hours passed and he hadn't lost his life. That's how serious it was. That serious, right? So we made the decision, but More than a decision, it was that all the civilians started to retreat because of this ambush, and we saw that the best thing to do was to protect the lives of Bolivians.
So, we preferred to retreat; we are looking for a safe place, and there we will see what we do, whether we return to La Paz or continue. It's a shame that a caravan for life was attacked. Um, not only did they burn down our customs office after what we went through, they also burned down the customs offices. I think this was in Oruro, or yes, I think it was in Oruro, but in this place they burned down their pools in Díaz, Bolivia. Um, I had staff locked inside, and they set them on fire with staff inside. Um, but well, then we evacuated, and they burned down all the toll offices in that place. At this moment, the customs offices are with the police, and there were journalists who were also caught up in this chaos. Um, there were civilians, so we are in a caravan at night where we ca n't verify if everyone is there or not. We are glad that we are Everyone, but we're in a remote place, right?
Minister, I mean, understanding what's happening, and night has fallen, you're still not safe, neither you nor those accompanying you.
Yes, I think we're still not safe, that's why I'm worried.
There was a press team on duty, but not from other channels.
We're in the middle of nowhere.
We're in the middle of nowhere. I don't know, those who have an update from Minister Zamora, let me know when there are any developments. You can't see any bonfires and you can't see if people are approaching or not, but well, obviously the police have done a great job and we're entrusting our safety to the police and the armed forces.
Okay, Minister, please reiterate this.
So, the unblocking caravan isn't going to continue advancing. It has decided to retreat.
Right.
Yes. No, it didn't continue because the conditions aren't right. We couldn't get through to Oruro, and the other contingent we have in Oruro couldn't either.
Passing the snail-shaped structure was impossible. There were dynamite blasts, stones, and people... we weren't going to risk the life of any citizen, were we? And we can't allow that. Can you imagine those being Minister Zamora's last words? How awful. That it causes deaths.
Okay, okay, Minister, we're on alert.
So, how much longer do you estimate it will take? How much longer will it take to get to your location and leave the place where you are?
Well, as soon as we're safe, I'll contact you to tell you if there are any injuries, if we're all safe. I'm very worried about the media people who were there; I could see them all. There were trucks ahead of me. There was a fleet of vehicles that blocked our path.
So, right now we're in a place, as I said, dark, a dirt road. I can give you a full report from a safe place.
See if you can contact your team, because there was a network team accompanying us. There's a network team that was accompanying you. Ah, well, Minister Zamora, I greatly appreciate the information you've provided. We're keeping a close eye on this situation, and well, let's hope everything goes well and that there are no further complications for you or those accompanying you. Thank you, Minister.
Thank you, good night, and I'm trying. Thank you very much. Good night, thank you for your time.
The story unfolded; I wanted to see the Lorax video. It's already... They are in Oruro, land of Mexico, boy. It's too dangerous. In other words, they have detoured towards Oro instead of returning to La Paz. What I understood, and according to the reports from eh urgente punto and F10 in F10 of both media outlets, is that he was already at least in Viacha.
Hopefully he's already arrived in VH and can find shelter, right? Because otherwise, I don't know what Rodrigo Paz will do if he loses Zamora. And how awful it would be to hear the last words of the Minister of Public Works, who had very little to do with, at least, all this mess that was happening in recent weeks, right? That's going to be messed up, that's going to be messed up.
So, tomorrow we'll probably have news about Minister Zamor, but well, that's what was happening a couple of minutes ago, almost an hour ago, right?
Fresh information.
This is another video from Red Ball Vision showing how this unlocking, this humanitarian corridor, began. As I said, people, humanitarian corridor, why? Should it take place in a war context?
So, the government acknowledges that it is at war. Well, we should already know, well, most people already know which sides are in the conflict, at least. But the one who does n't seem to have realized it yet is Rodrigo Paz.
Rodrigo Paz, if you are declaring a humanitarian corridor and this issue of wanting to do it with the white flag, it means you recognize that the other is your enemy. But just like in war, well, there will have to be a time of pause and a time of action, I suppose.
One thing that comes to mind right now is to imagine a soldier, a police officer, people like that carrying a white flag.
What Bcer said came true, didn't it? How am I supposed to negotiate with these kinds of people waving a white flag with flowers? Is what he surely felt at one point—panic and terror—that General BER would go through these kinds of circumstances coming true? No, the Catholic Church commission, Human Rights, uh, the armed forces and the police are entering.
Sure, you have a rifle there, but you're not going to be able to use it, are you? towards the population of Caracol to try to dialogue with the people who are mobilized for obviously this image where you have the white flag and you have members of the armed forces and police with weapons will be used by the IACHR, María Galindo, Cuya Reina, Ángel Cariaga and all the leftists that you know, right? To say, "Ah, they carried a white flag, but they were armed, and that's why someone died, because there are already reports that someone has lost their life, right?" Trying to dialogue with the people who are mobilized and thus avoid any kind of confrontation that could occur today.
So, they enter like this, and behind them is the police contingent, also from the Delta bus.
This is quite surreal. I'm going to read Ark Conetica's comment.
Every time some new information comes out about the drug investigation against Drogales or something, the blockade becomes more violent. They already have to bring out the armed forces. Before closing the live stream, let's check out the video; we're going to react to the video of the president of Mexico, uh, Shanbu, I don't remember the name of the president of Mexico, but she's already starting to talk about Bolivia. And when Mexico starts talking about Bolivia, remember what happened in 2019, something's brewing, people. There's a reason they're using more force in these blockades, these Mobilizations, at least, because they know they're taking a risk. They know they're taking a risk.
Uh, video summary also from Red 1.
We're updating the information on what 's happening with the humanitarian corridor. White flags.
This humanitarian corridor has had to retreat. The police and military who were clearing the road were overtaken at a certain point by the protesters.
That can't happen, people. Uh, no matter how much Reduno, UNITEL, or Bolivisión reports it, just hearing that the humanitarian corridor, that police and military have to retreat because they've been overtaken, excuse me, it's frightening. It also generates panic in society. What if they've been able to overtake the military and police, what hope is there for us, people? What hope is there for us?
Shambow, thank you for mentioning Pedro Felipes.
Ambushed at a point on the highway, this group of protesters prevented the passage of the humanitarian corridor caravan, even though the police used chemical agents to try to disperse the protesters. They didn't give up. They threw stones and other objects at the vehicles, and the advancing convoy had to retreat. That's at least what we know so far; the road is stopped and hasn't been able to move forward due to the resistance encountered on the highway.
So, a second defeat for the government in less than a week. Last Saturday it failed, and today, Saturday, it's failing again. I do n't know what Rodrigo Paz is playing at again. I mean, I do n't know what the president is playing at.
Uh, another video, right? Of what happened today. Quite a lot happened at Alto 23 de Mayo, right? This happened today. Police used tear gas on protesters who were trying to retake the roadblock. Then, the police advanced with heavy machinery to clear the road, but once they advanced, they left some ground behind, or at least an open space, and the protesters would return to retake the roadblocks. You ca n't do this. You can't do this, people.
And theoretically, that famous humanitarian corridor has to be agreed upon by both sides, but the other side doesn't want to talk, doesn't want food to enter the city, they really want to see us ruined. That's the thing, folks. Audio recordings have also been leaked— well, I don't have them here anymore because there's so much information—but the audio recordings have been leaked where there are even comments about wanting to cut off the water and electricity to the cities. They've already cut off our fuel supply. Gas stations are exploding, I mean, in the sense that people are desperately looking for fuel to continue with their activities.
They're also using tear gas further along to clear this road. Actually, there are already two points where they're using gas to disperse these people who are resisting the reopening of this road, and as soon as the contingent passes, they start up again. Look at the large number of officers that have gathered. There are clashes there, and look how the people who were passing by are simply trying to escape the gas while The officers are trying to disperse the protesters. They are being met with stones. That's what's happening here, and obviously, I mean, you have piles of stones there. Thanks, Copa, for not having done enough paving work, at least in the streets of El Alto, but don't worry, Rodrigo Paz has already promised you that there will be paving and streetlights, right? Look at the good mayor we have, Rodrigo Paz. Oh, he's not the president. Yes, yes, I forgot he's the president.
Ventilla area, right now, in this operation that is trying to unblock the road that connects with the department of Oruro. The authorities had said that the intention was not to use violence, simply to allow the passage of food, medicine, and oxygen that were trapped on the road. We see again that they are using tear gas, also further ahead.
So there it is, as my chocolate cake was telling me. I just received the information. They have kidnapped four soldiers and are trying to attack the police who are trying to restore peace. God Mine. Uh, ACK007 subscribes, new colleague. And General Bcer, well, there he is. I send you my regards. What a shame. Someone was telling me, "But check the latest link in content to react." José Miguel, let's see what's happened in content to react.
Uh, watch out, what's this?
No, this is police releasing audio of blockaders instructing them to take down the minister. Ugh! Ugh! The explainer is on fire. Ah, the explainer is on fire.
What is this? Let's listen.
Speaking of this, let's give a little context. The police are releasing audio of blockaders with instructions to take down Minister Zamora, who was accompanying a caravan of the white flag operation. [music] Let's listen, let 's listen.
We're in the thick of it right now.
We're getting close. The fight continues, brother, it continues. We have to take down the minister; his cousin from the east is with President Rodrigo Pasc.
Ah. He has to be taken down, do n't you see? We have to We have to go down there. We want to go down, no matter what. I hope the communities of Patacamaya are there.
The people are still there. We're still depressing. It's out of gas. It's only using pellets now. The pellets are just rubber. Over a longer distance. It's out of power. It's losing power now.
Son.
My God.
Rodrigo Paz. They're going to take down the minister, who is theoretically his cousin, but then they said he's not his cousin, but that he is related to him.
Well, it's Mauricio Zamora. Zamora has to be from somewhere, right? Look, they're taking down the minister. Well, I don't know, Rodrigo Paz, what are you waiting for? I mean, what are you thinking?
What will happen if they take down your minister?
And he's one of your closest ministers, at least. Much closer than Lupo, much closer than the ministers he handpicked for you.
Basically Samuel Doria Medina. We have to ask ourselves, people, who decided that the minister Is Zamora leading these mobilizations?
Or rather, more than these mobilizations, in this humanitarian corridor, it's the Minister of Public Works. Why isn't Oviedo there? Why isn't Lupo himself there?
People, it's possible that Samuel Doria Medina doesn't want Minister Zamora to assume the position of Minister of the Interior, because on Wednesday Rodrigo Pas announced that he was going to restructure the cabinet, that is, the ministries. He wasn't necessarily going to fire everyone, but he was going to say, well, I think you can function better here, you're no longer useful in this position, it's better if you go to this other place, and so on.
And what if they sent him to his death, people, James, exactly that. And if they sent him to his death, people, Lupo is disastrous.
It's a strategy... I just don't know what to think anymore, people. I just don't know what to think anymore.
We have to be attentive to what happens with Zamora, right? Not because he's my brother, not because he's my cousin, but because he's a A key figure in the government, and well, he's family, he's blood.
To his mother, to his mother. I can't say more, folks. I really appreciate it, Megu, right? That you shared this with me. The presidential spokesperson assured that Minister Zamora is safe.
His life was not in danger. This guy is a joke, he 's the presidential spokesperson for a reason, because he's just as much of a joke as Rodrigo Paz. And he's also detestable because he doesn't get anywhere. You ask him, " What's your favorite ice cream flavor, chocolate or vanilla?" And the guy starts telling you the story of how his dad invented the song about the little rooms, and he doesn't even finish that story.
So, no, I don't trust this guy very much. And like I said, it might be that they're mentioning all this so that, well, we calm down, because a couple of minutes ago we were listening to the interview that Minister Zamora had with Red 1, and it was his voice, no It might be Unillanes, it might not be Unillanes.
In short, they sent it as their own. I hope not. I hope not, people, I hope not.
Uh, the humanitarian corridor is failing. That's the reality, people. The famous humanitarian corridor.
I think the drivers have to start leaving. They're going to leave.
The drivers are going to leave the vehicles.
Can someone share the Discord? Of course. We invite you to the Discord where you'll find real-time updates, dude, or [music] papi.
So they can hide. They have no other choice.
They've retreated. People have taken over this road with rocks, folks. They're in the middle of the highlands.
They have infinite ammo, people.
The police are trying to advance through this other sector. They can't, they ca n't.
They've retreated here; a contingent is trying to approach.
We'll show you.
There's a contingent.
Damn it that the journalists don't have the latest Samsung Galaxy S26 to zoom in much more. Efficient, but well, it is what it is.
From a very small number.
The motorized vehicle is retreating. It's escaping. They turned around.
They're giant trucks, people. And obviously they must be carrying merchandise, they must be carrying high-value products. They're also destroying it. Yes, the police are running to provide cover. There are, have you noticed how many there are there? There must be barely four or five for such a huge space.
I just don't understand who's making the decisions to call it a humanitarian corridor, and not recognize that the other side is also an adversary, because at the end of the day a humanitarian corridor implies that, right? That there are two factions, if you want to call it that, in conflict, and that, well, they reach a common agreement and that there is transit of food, medicine, and other supplies for the civilian population caught in the middle of the conflict. But if the government wants to use the term humanitarian corridor and doesn't recognize that on the other side there's also a faction that wants to see it that way, Clap, then it makes no sense, people. They've been completely cornered, and it also makes no sense that the Minister of the Interior, the Minister of Defense, who should also be involved in all this, are sending the police like this, sending the military like this.
Again, Rodrigo Paz, again, the executive branch, the patience of the population, well, it won't matter to you, but the patience of the security forces, which are the police and the armed forces, also has an expiration date.
It has an expiration date, and in this country specifically, and it happened with Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada, it happened with Evo Morales, and it can happen again with whoever wants to take over the country. If you do n't have, at least, the Armed Forces and the Police on your side, your seconds in the presidential chair are numbered. We have to be careful. The Armed Forces, the police are inside. Yes, gentlemen, the motorcyclists are escaping.
The motorcyclists are escaping. Here at this point, the police and the armed forces have been cornered.
Only a group... It's become minuscule in this sector. They do n't know, they've retreated. Did they even do a study, at least a mapping of the area where the blockade was going to be lifted, to see at least points where they could corner them or even cover up the possibility of ambushes? I think this should be done in a serious way, at least, but it's serious, it's serious.
The vehicles have retreated. The caravan, in other words, is no longer continuing, it 's paralyzed. The caravan has turned back, it 's turning back. The vehicles are going to try to park permanently.
The government has lost, it provoked this. Today the people are enraged.
Well, the media is left-leaning, right? Yes, you realize the media is left-leaning, but the simple fact of again stating that the police were overwhelmed and that the government has lost leaves the citizens completely defenseless. It's bad. It's bad, people.
The military knows, but the orders come from above. Right? Who's giving the orders? Who's saying to intervene like this? Because it's defeat after defeat. It's like wanting to lose on purpose. I'm starting to get suspicious, folks. I'm starting to get suspicious. It's getting worse, gentlemen, because the government is provoking them, has provoked them. The armed forces aren't advancing anymore; they're stuck there. They're stuck in that place.
I don't understand what the point is for you as a government to go out and try to do something and fail, and fail so obviously. At least you haven't tried—I'm not saying you should kill yourselves, I'm not saying you should sacrifice police and military personnel just for the sake of sacrificing them—but I don't see any attempts by the government to do anything more.
It's like when someone goes to a soccer game and loses the first leg, I don't know, 10-0, and in the second leg they have no intention of winning and bring all their substitutes and don't even want to turn the score around. Let's see if there are any updates online. Regarding the minister, the presidential poser laments the violent events during the Unblocking operation. I can lament it. You can lament it. Your neighbor down the street can lament it. How can the authorities just be lamenting?
I just don't understand it, people. I don't understand it. How is it possible that we live in an alternate reality where the authorities are lamenting every 5 minutes?
Seriously.
Hey, buddy, don't forget that Lev Baristo purged both the armed forces and the police of good elements.
Yes, he doesn't have people involved with Morales. It's not for nothing that they've been in power for 20 years. Easy, right? Hey, there's the audio. There's no news, is there? Not yet regarding Minister Zamora, at least according to what Red 1 is reporting. And let's not forget that, according to Minister Zamora, there were civilian journalists from Red 1 with him.
Hey, we have to wait, we have to wait.
So, I don't know, I don't know, people.
Pacheta explodes. Police entered with tear gas and arrests to The protests were cleared, but the demonstrators' reaction was immediate. Officers were knocked off their motorcycles and chased by an angry mob denouncing criminalization and a lack of response to their demands. No, we 're seeing here, they've been surrounded.
There are two left.
Look, others managed to escape on their motorcycles. There are two left, and others are simply walking in the middle of the highlands.
Oh, look, another one. They probably even had to leave their shields behind, and the people who are out there carrying out this kind of violence, well, they're going to take their shields, right?
Oh, there are two left. That's where they grabbed the police officers.
Uh, radicalizing measures in the 8th district. After the police intervention in the 8th district, on the Oruro highway, residents of the area expressed their rejection of the operation carried out in the sector and questioned the use of chemical agents during the clearing actions. During their statement, some residents displayed tear gas canisters, which, they denounced, were used by police officers. In the intervention. Amid a tense atmosphere, residents indicated that they will maintain and even intensify the pressure tactics. There's nothing to be done. There's nothing to be done, people. There's nothing to be done.
A way to ask for dialogue. That's the way to be able to pacify the people after calling them vandals. We are not vandals. Yes, they are not vandals, but they have the perfect skin of a thug.
We are the city, we are the driving force of this country, those who work day after day.
Yes, they work day after day. That's why they can afford to block the roads for 22 days while we strive to maintain their salaries, those damn government officials.
This imbecile shouldn't even pay taxes. Do you have a tax ID, buddy? Do you have a tax ID to pay taxes? They are sitting there and don't deserve to say, "Mr. President, that piece of [ __ ] has to leave the country, he has to resign along with his cronies who live there in Santa Cruz." They claim to be great businessmen, but thanks to whom, behind whose back, behind the back of this society. This society consumes the same things that Santa Cruz produces. Ca n't we, the older folks, produce the same thing?
No, he proved that he didn't. That's why there's a food shortage, that's why there's a shortage of chicken, there's a shortage of meat, there's a shortage of vegetables and other things that we could produce, we could produce, but not in the quantity that the two largest cities of this country, La Paz and El Alto, produce. Uh, the department's current supply cannot meet the demand. You piece of [ __ ].
What does the halt say, comrades? Stop standing up, [ __ ].
In this district, we will never surrender. Let's get blood.
Look at the colors of this jacket. The colors of the socialist movement: black, white, and blue.
It's the government. That one. Get inside your head, Rodrigo.
Peace. Do n't you see the typical people who use face masks, and when it was the pandemic they didn't use face masks because they didn't care, people, because they didn't care, but to hide their face they do use them. This man calls me Yumi, and I'm disgusted that we're from the same country. It disgusts me even more to know that there are many like this failure. And I, for example, am especially saddened that my vote is worth the same as this individual, that the taxes I pay will be consumed by this individual.
This individual is going to consume them because if he has a baby, he will surely take them to the Public School.
Obviously not. I am paying for this individual's public school.
If something happens to this individual, if something happens to this little angel, he will surely go to a clinic, to a state hospital, right? In their case, and I 'm paying for it with my taxes.
So, with my taxes, I 'm still supporting this scourge that doesn't even pay taxes, people. He doesn't even pay taxes. The president has n't gone to the barracks, has he? Typical comment, right? Um, I mean, you can argue many things regarding, I don't know if it will have advantages, but well, advantages and disadvantages of the Political Constitution of Evo Morales, because it is not the Political Constitution of the State, but the political constitution of Evo Morales, because it was made to his measure as if by a tailor. Hey, if you try to debate with these individuals, the argument they'll come up with is that you haven't been to the barracks. No, you haven't gone to the barracks. That's quite a tremendous argument they can throw at you.
It's a train. Obviously, the only achievement of these guys has been going to the barracks supposedly [music] and I don't know what they'll be taught at the barracks.
Using our money from Bolivia, Mich, to repress us, our different people here. And how is it going to be that he possibly shoots us there, my companions are suffering, caught in the crossfire and are dead. How many injured are there right now? I don't know if my colleagues don't know right now how he doesn't do it this morning, for example, he passively leaves with a white flag. They all [snort] look like that, that skin of fighters, people, I mean, there's no way to miss it.
Look, but my brothers who, like bricklayers, have been used, have almost been used, and there are injured comrades from this morning.
We are going to be radical, and the IACHR will take these videos, these images, they will put on sad, dramatic music, they will interview the queen again, just in case, the queen who participated in a documentary called Red November, a documentary by the leftist Verónica Córdoba, where she spoke about how they were victims in 2019. Same speech. Same speech.
Our blockades are even worse and they're going to pay you, obviously, right? To those they interview. Verónica Córdoba will be paid a fortune to make a trashy documentary about what happened in 2019. Those who interview her will also be paid.
Obviously we're going to take some drastic measures and it's not going to be this simple. Let him report that he danced once and for all. Once you give, no more.
No, I can't watch these videos anymore, people. I can no longer see. But anyway, let's move on to another one.
Police and military operation in Sencata.
Check out this video.
Check out this video.
We want that Croatian to resign.
We want that Croatian to resign.
Rodrigo Paz is supposedly Spanish, not Croatian, so I don't know who you're asking to resign. Uh, Edman Lara is, well, Bolivian, as far as I know.
We are family men. Where are we going to get the budget from? Regarding the silver, the meat, how much does the chicken, the meat, and all the items you're mentioning cost, ma'am? They are not necessarily being increased because of Rodrigo Paz.
Not necessarily, but a significant part of the reason why you, ma'am, can't buy a kilo of chicken because now you have to buy a whole chicken, is precisely because of the blockades that are there.
What kind of Croatian do we want to go back to his country and advertise himself? Here it has to be in an indigenous village, a true indigenous village where each of us lives in the countryside. There are no indigenous peoples there. Who did it? Do you realize how identity politics will outweigh any kind of proposal, any kind of solution to what this country demands? If the person on the ballot has the Newton Conori skin, these people are going to vote for him, that's all.
Massacred, they have done it: wounded, dead, pain, blood. He has to go back to his country, no matter what. We don't want Croatians, police officers who are seeing uniforms with their shots. What are we? We have blood, we are human. We have your complaints, we give you your complaints.
Thanks to this indigenous community, he has had the right to vote. This indigenous people didn't do anything, but now that Croatian is killing. Uh, Mario de Alcázar or Mario del Alcázar, I think his name is, right? This gentleman who at the time said, "The revolution of '52 was a mistake and universal suffrage was also a mistake." How well-founded it was, and how could they not appreciate it? And like well-meaning journalists such as John Arandia, and well, that other type of journalist like Ángel Cariaga said, "How can he say that about universal suffrage?
Blah blah blah blah blah and blah blah blah blah blah."
He's a root, he's a murderer, he should leave our country.
Rodrigo, if they call you a murderer, things are fine, then I guess not.
Let Elizabethend go. It's so frustrating to be a police officer at this point in life, isn't it? Basically not being able to do anything.
And there it is.
Uh, they report one death in the humanitarian corridor and an ambush on the Zamora ministers' group. No, that's what was shown. Obviously I'm not going to show you the images because YouTube will censor me afterwards.
Hey, Vicente Salazar, Tupacatari, denounces police and military repression in the Aroma province, Oruro highway.
Vicente Salazar, Tupacatari departmental executive. That's why you shouldn't just accept the red poncho like that, you see? That's why it's not just about receiving, eh, without knowing the context.
Peace.
There are many injured brothers, we have deaths, and we hope that the media will spread these messages. They are silencing us. We do not have the same rights as everyone else.
Completely. All 20 provinces are very upset. They always refer to the 20 provinces.
How many provinces are there specifically in the country as such? It cannot be that they are massacring our peasant brothers.
The people will not tolerate it. That is why we call for unity. That's why we call for unity, isn't it? Yes, yes, yes.
Of the entire Bolivian population. It cannot be that a government calls for dialogue on Sunday and is massacring my entire population on Saturday. Just in case, the dialogue that Rodrigo Paz has called for, to create that social and economic roundtable, if I remember correctly, has been suspended because there is no [clears throat] possibility of everyone meeting, that is, the presidential message of Rodrigo Paz on Wednesday was of no use.
We are very upset and send our condolences to our province of Doma, which is in mourning today with its deceased. We regret this government.
Sometimes there is a feeling of helplessness at not being with our brothers and sisters today. We send our condolences to our brothers in the province of Rome.
Well, and this was the terrible part, wasn't it?
Let me see for a second.
Hey, here's Radio San Gabriel on today, May 23rd as well.
This just doesn't make sense.
Blockaders seized a prisoner, beat him, and threatened to burn him alive if their demands were not met. Blockaders seized a prisoner, beat him, and threatened to burn him alive if their demands were not met. The incident occurred during the operations to clear the roadblocks and establish a humanitarian corridor in El Alto. They have not taken me into account, as their demands include the release of all their detainees.
Otherwise, I will be detained until their demands are met.
They can even burn me, they even indicate that they can burn me.
That I resign.
I request that my boss resign.
His name. Don't say my boss.
My captain indicated that his demands are that President Paz resign and that he release everyone and that they release their detainees.
How powerless I feel, people. How powerless I feel, people. They are going to burn it peacefully.
I hope it doesn't happen, but I think he's already safe, if I remember correctly. They report the release of Sergeant Juan Pablo Mamani and look, I mean, they don't even care if his last name is Mama, Kispe, Choque, Wan or whatever, so you can see how close they are. That's why the word pisses me off, brother. According to police information, the officer is part of the physical security battalion and was assisting a vehicle transporting foreign currency in the Ventilla el Alto area. At this time, police personnel are en route to provide immediate assistance and transport the officer to the nearest medical center.
Another one who was saved, but luck won't be on everyone's side. Rodrigo Paz. I do n't know what the new developments will be from Minister Zamora.
Well, hopefully this gentleman is already free and hopefully he doesn't have any serious injuries, at least, right?
And well, that's what's been happening in the last few hours today. I don't know what will happen next. Relatives of the assaulted police officer recount moments of anguish and worry. what we were seeing a minute ago. Ah, uh, let's check the full article.
No, 15 minutes of advertising. Damn. Hey mate, did you see that Zamora's team abandoned the journalists? He says, "No, that's why Minister Zamora also said that there was a group of journalists from Red Uno, at least, who were reporting what happened. They practically [music] assures, they found out about the officer's situation through social media.
Like many users, social media was the means by which the family of the police officer detained by protesters learned what happened.
We found out around 9:30 or 10 in the morning when they sent us the first video that's circulating.
I think I'm done with how much it hurts, people. The family, this is what hurts, people, the family. Brothers, children, wives, parents, nephews, grandparents, etc., who are distressed that the government is sending police and military personnel like this without any guarantees.
And that's why we've already called, we've come, and we arrived here around 10:30 with everything they 've brought.
Fortunately, hours later they managed to reunite with the police officer, who told them..." How he was detained during the conflicts.
Uh, he tells us that they had to leave, they had to go through Sencat or something like that, but right from a Nissan Condor truck, uh, the fuel tank, I think all the diesel spilled out.
So that's how the people came, right? The people who are doing the demonstrations. So that's what they detained him for.
With great concern, the family asks the people who participated [music] in the attacks to act with empathy and avoid these kinds of events that put people's lives at risk.
There, in that detail where they detained him, there were mothers, there were fathers, they have children, everything revolves around this, everything revolves around that. So, I want them to stay strong, right? Uh, strong.
[suppressed shout] Ah, ta ta ta.
[sigh] Well, and yesterday, if I remember correctly, they changed, right?, the Minister of Labor and now it's Williams Vascopé. I don't know, I don't know what the intention of Wanting to change it. I don't know how effective that measure of replacing the Minister of Labor with Williams Vascopé will be. Williams Vascopé was once one of the promoters of an anti-blockade law. I don't know if he still thinks the same way or if he 's changed his mind now that he works for the chicken industry.
So, what do I know, people, what do I know?
And well, while the state isn't fulfilling its duties, it can sell you a kilo of chicken for 35 bolivianos in the city of La Paz, and in the city of El Alto wherever it's available. [music] Look at this mess, people. The state is making posts that a supermarket, a private company, or a small business should be making, but no. The state, through its social media accounts and state-owned companies, makes a social media post generated in Canva, maybe "Green Cable Car," "Service from 9 am until stock runs out."
This is what the state is for, people. This is what the state is for.
Irpai Mobile Sales. Get your chicken. 35 bolivianos per kilo. Saturday, May 23.
Cable Car Green, attention from nine until stock runs out.
All that's missing is for them to hire Epinedo, one of those bastard TikTokers, and have him, well, advertise this.
Seriously.
Seriously, people, check out this message. This is serious. And we're going to close with this.
Claudia Sheinbaum, president of Mexico, generates controversy with statements about Evo Morales. The president maintains that US interference is behind the proceedings against the former president. The statements of the president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, provoked reactions after referring to the case of former president Evo Morales and questioning the supposed influence of the United States in South American countries. It could be that everything we 're seeing in the last few hours, in the last few days, and in the last few weeks is because Evo Morales is risking everything. Because if they take down Evo Morales, inevitably all the figures of 21st-century socialism in Latin America will fall.
This AMLO, Nicolás Maduro, they've already taken him down too, and other agents of the Southern Latin America could have a very hard time. Evo Morales is still key, people, he's still key. The first time Evo Morales ran for office, he was accused of being linked in one way or another to drug trafficking, I think it was 2,000 times. Let's see, check when it was that he was linked in one way or another to drug trafficking for being an indigenous leader in a coca-producing area.
What a coincidence, right? What a coincidence.
Coca, not cocaine.
Coca is not cocaine. Don't you see that iconic song? [music] Coca is not cocaine. Do you remember? I don't know which group sings that song, Coca is not cocaine.
And the government of Bo Morales.
If you realize, people, even those kinds of songs have normalized these kinds of illicit activities.
Whose song is that? Coca. It's not cocaine.
Coca is a sacred leaf. Bolivia, Oruro, we are the cocanis, something like that. It's a morenada, but well, it has been the best government that Bolivia has had.
Look what, look, look, look what it says.
If this isn't interference, turn off the lights and let's go.
And the results speak for themselves.
The gross domestic product increased, income increased, people's standard of living increased, poverty decreased, inequality decreased. The typical arguments of 21st-century socialism, because Bolivia was already the supposed success story. Sabi Andina, I think, the cocaine dealers, Jacha Flores. Yes, the cocaine dealers, something like that. But look, even back then these kinds of illicit activities were normalized. What do you think? They strengthened sovereignty over their natural resources. We mustn't forget history, we mustn't forget it because if we don't isolate ourselves, we see the issue as if it were something isolated. I think that in Mexico they're also worried that Evo Morales will be ousted.
Waris Youth, we're going to update this, obviously.
Youth heading to the city of La Paz until Rodrigo Paz, the chicken, resigns.
Obviously with Rifles, they're not going to go with white flags, don't you see how Rodrigo Paz sent the police and military?
Red youth ready for war.
And the CH feels sorry for these guys. Ah, when they shout civil war, they're calling for war. I don't know, folks, I don't know what's going to happen. I hope you were able to buy some chicken, buddy. I hope you were able to buy some eggs at least because it looks like things are going to get even worse next week.
Where did they get those weapons? It's not illegal. Obviously it's illegal, but theoretically there's a custom, at least in the highlands and in the west of the country, for all these individuals, whose only achievement has been to enlist in the barracks and who, by the way, are required to do military service, at least in this country, to go and steal a rifle from the barracks. If they don't come back with a rifle, if they don't come back with the rifle and with war ammunition, they're not men, theoretically, there it is, don't you see? There's the deep Bolivia of the which Rodrigo Paz was talking about.
Galindo is talking, Ángel Cariaga is talking, Surdicio is talking, the queen is talking, that Gabinski guy is talking, that imbecile, and all of them.
Uh, and well, let's wrap up by remembering who the Red Ponchos are. So, my friend, whether you're a liberal or whatever ideology you have, don't accept a red poncho if you don't know the context.
Don't accept a red poncho if you don't know the context.
And Brisa Pavón's explainer explains it to you.
Reds in Bolivia since "Who are the Red Ponchos in Bolivia?" by Decapital Perros as a warning sign to be the most loyal group of Evo Morales.
Decapital Perros first hung them up; the indigenous sector gained international relevance by participating in the blockades in La Paz demanding the resignation of President Rodrigo Paz. In the explainer, we review the context. In 2007, this image went around the world. Indigenous people with red ponchos allied to Evo Morales, then president, took black dogs to publicly decapitate them as a sign of threat or warning to the opposition.
But their story begins much earlier.
The Red Ponchos are an indigenous and Mara organization from the Bolivian highlands and have a strong presence in Achacachi, La Paz. Their name comes from the garment worn by their members, a red poncho representing the blood shed by their ancestors. In the past, they were a symbol of historical rebellion, protecting their territories and honoring the anti-colonial struggles of Tupac Amaru. But today, many analysts describe them as Evo Morales's Aymara militia. Their presence is seen during times of conflict, primarily political, and they have been seen using slingshots, dynamite, whips, and rifles. The group became politically visible in the 2000s, when the peasant and indigenous mobilizations began that would eventually bring Evo Morales and the Movement for Socialism to the presidency. Since then, they have been known as the coca growers' leader's most loyal group. In 2007, the images The videos shown at the beginning went viral worldwide, shocked the country, and solidified their status as a radical and feared group. Although they fragmented in recent years with Luis Arce's continued hold on power and his distancing from Evo Morales—even going so far as to demand Arce's resignation—they are now back on the scene with mobilizations from various minority groups demanding Rodrigo Paz's resignation while keeping the city of La Paz surrounded, blockaded, and without supplies. Evo Morales publicly declared to the Mexican press that he is seeking new elections within 90 days.
Rodrigo Paz's government has only been in power for six months and is the first government with a different ideology than the Movement for Socialism (MAS), theoretically different, right? That's where the disclaimer comes in.
Twenty years and 21 days of conflict have passed, and it is the population that is paying the price.
So, my dear colleague, remember that it's not just about accepting these kinds of gifts for the sake of it. Oh, and a reference to you-know-who so I don't get canceled.
Later.
Oh, people, what will we do? What will we do, people? What will we do? As for me.
I'm signing off, everyone. It's already 10:30 at night. We'll have to wait for news.
Uh, I'm sharing the Discord group again for anyone who wants to join.
We'll be keeping in touch there about any news that might happen.
I'm going to update the Red 1 page again to see if there's any news about Minister Zamora, at least.
Not because he's my cousin, no, but because whatever happens to Minister Zamora will have repercussions in the coming hours.
So, people, let's see what happens in the next few days. Let's see what happens in the next few days. Okay. Well, take good care of yourselves. Uh, always remember your family, your loved ones.
Try to get enough food, and ration the products you have at home.

Okay, a hug, a Greetings to all, I hope you're well, that you're with your families, and well, we'll try to get to the start of the week at least in peace. Take good care of yourselves, a hug, and we'll see each other when necessary. When necessary. Bye. Bye.
