Bolivia’s beleaguered president, Rodrigo Paz, held talks with the country’s main trade union Central Obrera Boliviana (COB) on 17 June. The COB furnished the Paz administration with a list of demands the day before for the “pacification and recovery” of the country after a month and a half of protests and roadblocks, leaving a death toll of 16 (13 due to the lack of access to timely medical care) and economic losses in excess of US$2.5bn, according to government estimates.
