El conflicto político y las protestas en Bolivia amenazan con derivar en enfrentamientos entre civiles

La crisis política que vive Bolivia amenaza con derivar en un enfrentamiento entre la población de las ciudades y del campo, tras casi un mes de bloqueos de carreteras que afectan la provisión de alimentos, medicamentos y combustibles sobre todo en el área andina y que ya han dejado al menos nueve muertos, en medio de varios episodios en los que la gente ha intentado desbloquear las rutas.
Los analistas Pedro Portugal y Gabriela Canedo advirtieron, en declaraciones a EFE, sobre el riesgo de los choques por una fractura casi atávica por razones étnicas y culturales, pero también por una supuesta inacción ante el conflicto del Gobierno Rodrigo Paz, cuya renuncia piden los sectores movilizados.
«El Gobierno no está haciendo absolutamente nada, es como si estuviese esperando que la población que le apoya se enfrente a los bloqueadores y se resuelva esta cuestión en un enfrentamiento entre civiles, en vez de que sea una intervención estatal», dijo Portugal, especialista en temas indígenas.
En varias regiones hubo incidentes y amagos de enfrentamiento entre pobladores del campo y las zonas urbanas a favor y en contra de los bloqueos, pero los analistas observan en esos episodios indicios de una polarización que puede escalar a choques civiles, como ha ocurrido otras veces en Bolivia.
Portugal consideró importante recordar que Paz llegó al poder con el apoyo de «sectores populares e indígenas» que votaron en sus comunidades por consigna, no tanto por él, sino por su vicepresidente, Edmand Lara, por su «extracción plebeya».
La Federación de Campesinos Tupac Katari reclama a Paz por la supuesta «traición» que supuso haber aprobado primero medidas a favor de empresarios del oriente boliviano, antes de pactar con los sectores de la zona andina que le votaron y también por su distanciamiento de Lara, quien se declaró opositor al Gobierno.
A juicio del analista, la «ruptura» explica los bloqueos de los campesinos, que también tienen como fondo histórico la conflictiva relación de los indígenas con el Estado debido a la persistencia de la pobreza y por su exigencia de ser parte del mismo, «pero no en una posición subordinada, sino protagónica».
Los bloqueos de carreteras son una medida histórica de lucha de esos sectores desde 1781, cuando una rebelión indígena liderada por Tupac Katari castigó a La Paz durante varios meses, impidiendo el paso de alimentos para la población española, criolla y mestiza.
La consecuencia de las protestas actuales son al menos nueve fallecidos, de los que seis son personas que no pudieron recibir atención médica oportuna por los bloqueos, además del desabastecimiento de alimentos y medicamentos.
Para la socióloga Canedo, el conflicto muestra la persistencia del «fantasma del 2019», en alusión a la crisis vivida ese año cuando el entonces presidente Evo Morales (2006-2019) renunció denunciando un supuesto golpe de Estado, ante una ola de protestas sociales por denuncias de un fraude a su favor en las fallidas elecciones generales, luego anuladas.
La crisis provocó 37 muertos, varios de ellos afines a Morales, en lugares como el barrio de Senkata, en el Alto, y la localidad de Sacaba, (centro), en enfrentamientos civiles y tras intervenciones militares.
«Hemos tenido una pausa de seis años y ahora, con el cambio de Gobierno hace seis meses, tenemos nuevamente esto y el fantasma del 2019 y sabemos las consecuencias», apuntó Canedo.
En la actual crisis, agregó, hay una «efervescencia de los discursos racistas» que están detonando las «heridas históricas», pero se trata de un problema estructural que sale a flote provocando más polarización.
«Los problemas pueden ser económico sociales, pero lo que se toca son las identidades étnicas», sostuvo.
Más allá de la discriminación mutua entre habitantes del campo y la ciudad, el contexto muestra una mayoría «que sufre las peores condiciones sociales y económicas» ante «una minoría que sí goza de privilegios», agregó.
A su juicio, si el Estado no equilibra las condiciones de igualdad para sectores vulnerables, existe el riesgo de que la sociedad se dirija a «un ajuste de cuentas» con «resentimiento, revancha y odio».

World War II veteran reveals 1-word feeling before D-Day 82 years later

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
World War II veteran Arthur Rose read a letter written a few days after June 6, 1944, at a Saturday ceremony in Normandy, France, as part of a commemoration of the 82 years since D-Day.
«Dear mom and dad and kids, About a month before we landed, I had a feeling I might be part of the invasion. I couldn’t quite believe, though, that I would. I kept thinking, what could I possibly do in an invasion? Pull engines in the middle of a battle? I figured men like me would come along afterwards — after they cleared the wreckage and the damage had passed,» Rose read to the crowd.
«But two weeks before D-Day, I was told I would go along and do whatever I could. We had moved to the assault port. Thousands of ships and landing craft of every description filled the harbor. Everyone worked day and night preparing fuel, provisions, ammunition and secret material. Everything was checked and rechecked and checked again. You can imagine the confusion and activity,» he continued.
«Then came the day we began loading supplies for the invasion: food, blankets, ammunition, and all the countless things that would be needed once the men landed in France. We knew then the invasion could not be far. Then came the word: D-Day will be June 6th,» Rose read.

«I can’t describe the feeling exactly. It wasn’t fear, and it wasn’t excitement. Just a funny feeling — nervousness, expectancy, and wondering what was going to happen next. Then we sailed. The sea was rough, windy, and miserable. I was seasick most of the time. Everyone expected bombing, submarines, battleships, and all hell to break loose at any moment. But the first attempt was called off because the sea was too rough, and we returned to the harbor. That was a real letdown,» Rose continued to read.

«The next day, we sailed again. Near the coast of France, we could see flashes in the distance and hear the explosions continuously. In went the landing craft. We expected terrible destruction, as there was shelling, and men died. But not all of us,» he read.
«Then our work truly began: back and forth, day and night, bringing in equipment, medical supplies, and ammunition. What had once been just another stretch of French coast had suddenly become a vast harbor filled with hundreds of ships and thousands of men.»

At this point, Arthur stopped reading and said aloud, «I don’t remember writing this,» before continuing.
«I will always be grateful to my commander for taking me along. Don’t worry about me. I am well, and whole, and happy. Love, Art,» he concluded.

GOP victor in CA House primary cites major momentum shift in deep blue state: ‘Californians are tired’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Republican congressional candidate and CAL DOGE Director Jenny Rae Le Roux says pushback on decades of Democratic control is fueling a political shift in deep-blue California, which was on display Tuesday with strong performances by gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton and LA mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt.
«Californians are tired of one-party rule,» Le Roux told Fox News Digital after her Tuesday night primary victory that sent her into a head-to-head match up with incumbent Democrat Dave Min in California’s 47th Congressional District.
«They know that the reason we’re suffering in this state and people are leaving California is because Democrats have been in charge for 60 years, and they’re up to no good.»
Le Roux argues that Min has not done enough to represent people across the district, saying her campaign has «already started doing the job that he’s not doing.»

«It’s just to do the thing that Dave Min is not doing, which is to represent the district,» she said. «We are out in every community. We have a precinct-by-precinct operation. Anyone who wants to meet with us, we will meet with them.»
Le Roux said residents unable to get answers from Min’s office on fraud, veterans’ concerns or housing issues are turning to Republicans like her for help.
«People are frustrated by his office,» she said. «They’re not responsive. They ask us for help with fraud issues, issues with HUD and veterans’ issues, and we’re making calls and getting things done for the people in the district.»
In a statement to Fox News Digital, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee spokesperson Anna Elsasser defended Min, saying his office has helped constituents recover over $5 million from federal agencies.
«Jenny Rae Le Roux’s lame attacks reflect both a lack of familiarity with Dave Min’s office, which has brought back over $5.7 million to constituents, and with the issues that Orange County families care about,» Elsasser said.
The Cook Political Report ranks the race between Min and Le Roux as «Solid D» as Republicans try to hold onto their razor-thin margin in the House.
Democrats’ decades-long control of California has come under scrutiny as the Trump administration investigates alleged fraud involving healthcare, homelessness spending and nonprofit groups, issues Le Roux says are driving residents out of the state and pushing voters toward Republicans.

Last month, federal officials suspended 800 California hospice and home health providers in a Medicare fraud crackdown tied to foreign-linked criminal networks accused of stealing more than $1 billion from taxpayers.
Le Roux said her team at CAL DOGE, a private-sector initiative founded by Hilton, is uncovering more fraud in the state and «taking down not just the systems, but actually each one of the criminals that are going to be indicted over the course of the next six months.»

«We’re finding the fraud that’s happening through Sacramento,» she said. «They’ve been completely silent about it. They haven’t fought it themselves because they’re in on it.»
Since launching in early 2026, CAL DOGE says it has uncovered nearly $700 million in misused taxpayer funds. Le Roux said she will continue working with Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton to root out fraud.
«We’ve got some fraud-fighting on our hands, and I’ll work with Steve up and down the state to make sure our money is being spent wisely before either one of us is in office,» Le Roux said.

Despite her criticism of Democrats, Le Roux said «it’s really important to keep relationships with people in other parties.»
Le Roux is the cousin of Virginia Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger, and she told Fox News Digital the two «faithfully messaged each other after campaigns» and despite having «completely different opinions,» we «really love each other.»
