The Bolivian government has declared a state of exception and cleared roadways, effectively ending seven weeks of protests. The demonstrations stemmed from opposition to recent government policies and concerns over political stability. Simultaneously, Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino addressed the Organization of American States (OAS), alleging that drug trafficking finances “radical left” groups in Bolivia. Mulino presented this claim during the OAS General Assembly, suggesting a connection between illicit drug money and the unrest. The Bolivian government has not yet directly responded to Mulino’s accusations, but the end of the protests signals a shift in the immediate political landscape. The state of exception grants authorities increased powers to maintain order and investigate potential threats. The situation highlights ongoing regional concerns about drug trafficking and its potential influence on political movements.
