Bolivia Restores Recognition to Anti-'Che' Veterans, Reversing Morales-Era Policy

On the 59th anniversary of Che Guevara's death, Bolivia's government and army have restored official recognition to the 'beneméritos de Ñancahuazú'—veterans of the 1967 counterinsurgency campaign—who had been sidelined during Evo Morales's presidency. This marks a symbolic reversal of the Morales government's pro-Guevara stance, reflecting the current administration's shift in historical narrative. The move is politically significant domestically, signaling a break with the previous leftist era, but has no direct market implications.
