Last update: 2 hours agoBolivia Diesel Subsidy Crackdown: A new “autopsy” of Bolivia’s diesel subsidy fight says the government moved to neutralize the “Diesel Oil Subsidy” after a Supreme Decree raised prices sharply, then adjusted again as oil prices surged—framing the policy as a decisive hit to public-finance leakage. Bolivia UNGA Economic Pivot: President Rodrigo Paz used the UN General Assembly to defend a free-market shift, arguing ideology doesn’t feed people and pointing to higher central bank reserves, while blaming unrest on narco-terrorism and prior left-wing rule. Coca Supply Pressure: Bolivia’s coca cultivation hit record levels for a third straight year, with UNODC estimates linking growth more to global cocaine demand than legal coca markets—raising pressure on enforcement and supply-chain control. New Species, Local Science: Researchers confirmed Bolivia’s Leopardus tilcayo (tilcayo tiger cat), the first wild cat species described in over a century, using genetic testing and museum samples. Regional Security Tradeoffs: The “Shield of the Americas” coalition is pushing to label 24 drug groups as terrorist organizations and coordinate action across borders, with Bolivia named among participating states.
