Bolivia - May 22, 2026

In response to a new mobilization for the resignation of the government, called by the Bolivian Workers' Central Union, along with social and labor organizations in the department of La Paz…

BRUTAL REPRESSION AND ARRESTS
BY THE MURDEROUS POLICE OF BOLIVIA

Out with the Paz/Lara government!
Out with its bosses of the IMF and US imperialism!

Stop repressing those who fight! Freedom now for all those detained!

Today, a new mobilization toward Plaza Murillo (where the Government House is located) demanding the fall of the Paz/Lara government was brutally repressed. The hatred of the masses for this government, which is intended to finish the work begun by the MAS governments and the coup leader Áñez, is total and will not back down. But Rodrigo Paz, supported by the US imperialism and their "Shield of the Americas" with the continent's lackey governments, has turned fiercely against the poor workers and peasants, whom he labeled as vandals.

Since taking office, Rodrigo Paz has launched a plan dictated by Trump and the IMF that is starving the people, plunging Bolivians into billions of dollars of debt, seeking to privatize the remaining state-owned mining companies and all other state-owned enterprises, and seizing land from poor peasants to give it to the oligarchy of the fascist "media luna" (crescent) and transnational corporations like Cargill.

This infamous government, today once again brutally repressed the mobilization of thousands of miners, teachers, peasants and the poor people who want the fall of the Paz/Lara government.

The police, firing hundreds of tear gas canisters from the streets, pedestrian bridges, and buildings against the mobilization, with rubber bullets and assault motorcycles to hunt down workers, peasants, and women of pollera like animals, dispersed the demonstration, leaving dozens injured and detained... We cannot allow another massacre like those in Sacaba and Senkata in 2019!

Freedom for all the workers, peasants, and activists detained today and in previous days! For the dissolution of the murderous police! For unified self-defense committees of workers', peasants', and students' organizations!

The exploited people of Bolivia cannot continue fighting alone against the imperialist offensive on Latin America. If US imperialism and its "Shield of the Americas" prevail in Bolivia against the mass response to its brutal attack, it will spread it throughout the continent... We cannot allow it!

The revolutionary mass struggle in Bolivia is the vanguard of the fight against the IMF and the US imperialism with their "Shield of the Americas", which came out in support of Rodrigo Paz and his brutal repressions.

Against US imperialism and its lackey governments in Latin America, sustained by the rotten union bureaucracies of the continent... Everyone to La Paz! All combative political and labor organizations of the Americas must send delegations to centralize the anti-imperialist struggle in Bolivia and call on our best allies, the workers of the USA who are fighting against Trump with the cry of "No Kings." We must bring the Trump administration to its knees, wich represses, persecutes, and deports migrant workers in the US, that massacres in Gaza and throughout the Middle East with its henchman Netanyahu, and that commands the offensive of plunder and colonization of Latin America.

Stop repressing the workers and poor peasants of Bolivia!

We must fight alongside the uprising masses of Bolivia… For a Continental Congress in La Paz of all the workers' and peasants' organizations of the continent to fight and defeat imperialism before it's too late…

Down with US imperialism and its “Shield of the Americas” with its lackey governments!

Out with the IMF and the US imperialism from Bolivia and all of Latin America! Out with their military bases!

Bolivia and Latin America will be socialist or colonies of Wall Street!
