Bolivia Intervenes State Oil Firm Amid Fuel Crisis, Weighs Private Sales

Bolivia's government has intervened in the state oil company to address a deepening fuel supply crisis, which has become the main political obstacle for centrist-right President Rodrigo Paz. The move signals a potential policy shift toward allowing private sector participation in fuel sales, a notable departure from state control. The effectiveness of the intervention and the scope of private involvement remain uncertain, but the crisis threatens economic stability and Paz's administration.
