BOLIVIA: Talk of recall referendum reflects depth of crisis facing Paz
The anti-government protests in Bolivia which have escalated dramatically since mid-May are becoming increasingly existential for President Rodrigo Paz’s administration. In addition to protesters’ demands for his resignation, the government was forced on 2 June to push back against a proposal from within the allied Unidad party for Paz to convene a recall referendum. The resignation of two cabinet ministers that same day added to the sense of crisis, as did the temporary takeover of an oilfield by protesters in the eastern department of Santa Cruz.
