Police and protesters clash in La Paz
(6 Nov 2019) Violent clashes between security forces and demonstrators broke out again in the early hours of Wednesday morning in Bolivia's capital.
Sporadic and intense demonstrations have gripped Bolivia following a disputed 20 October election.
Opponents challenge an official count that showed incumbent Evo Morales winning with 47% of the vote and a margin of just over 10 percentage points over his nearest competitor - enough to avoid the need for a runoff against a united opposition.
Riot police guarding access to an area surrounding the presidential palace clashed with Morales opponents as they tried to march on the building.
Morales, Bolivia's first indigenous president, has accused the opposition of trying to stage a coup d'etat.
The Organization of American States sent a team to Bolivia and began a binding audit of the election.

BOLIVIA :LA PAZ: GOVERNMENT DECLARE A STATE OF SIEGE
Spanish/Nat
Calm returned to the streets of La Paz and other cities Wednesday, hours after the government declared a state of siege to end weeks of violent protests by strikers.
President Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada made the decision after talks with the labor unions failed to put an end to a violent national strike started by the nation's teachers.
Bolivia has been rocked for six weeks by a wave of violent disturbances as a result of intense labor unrest throughout the country.
President Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada declared the state of siege last night after talks with the labor unions mediated by the Catholic Church failed to find a solution to the crisis.
Thousands of workers took to the streets Tuesday demanding the ouster of the Bolivian president.
SOUNDBITE:
We just want him (Sanchez Lozada) to step down. He is a gringo, not even a Bolivian and we demand that he step down.
SUPER CAPTION: BOLIVIAN WORKER
Several people were arrested after the demonstration, including the Secretary General of the trade union Central Obrera Boliviana (C-O-B), Oscar Salas Moya, and several journalists that were covering the event.
Dozens of detainees were flown out of La Paz to undisclosed locations where, according to the government, they will be under arrest for an undetermined period of time.
Six weeks ago, the nation's teachers started a strike protesting a plan sponsored by international lending organizations to overhaul the Bolivian education system.
The plan included improvements in schools and teacher training, and the creation of a national library system, but it would also have eliminated job security for teachers and made union membership optional instead of compulsory.
Throughout the country, teachers and parents took to the streets and clashed with the police and the army almost daily.
Also several teachers and parents started a hunger strike in La Paz to pressure the government.
A month ago, the nation's largest labor union, C-O-B, joined the teachers strike protesting against the government's economic reforms.
But only government-employed miners and university students participated in the protest.
The workers oppose a privatisation and re-capitalisation of half of the state-owned companies .

Bolivia: Opposition rallies against president's re-election bid
Opposition groups have held a strike across much of Bolivia.
They're angry with President Evo Morales for seeking a fourth consecutive term in office.
They say he’s acting unconstitutionally by ignoring a national referendum, which showed voters were against him standing again.
But Morales is leading in opinion polls ahead of the October elections.

Entry from: La Paz, Bolivia
Entry Title: El Choro Trek
Entry:
The El Choro Trek starts about 30 minutes outside of La Paz at about 15,000ft. We were able to meet up with Carmel and Amir (from the jeep tour) to do the 3 day hike, which made for great trail company. It had rained very hard the night before in La Paz, which meant there was a fresh layer of snow at the start of the hike. Our first challenge was getting up to the pass at about 16,000ft and then the rest of the trail plunged down into a valley. We started early in the morning to see the views from the pass before the daily clouds rolled into the valley. It was spectacular descending into the valley, where the llamas and sheep were grazing freely. There were small stone houses with thatched roofs, looking like specs compared to the steeply sloped mountains surrounding. Parts of the trail were an old Inca road connecting the pueblos to La Paz. Locals still use it as a means of getting to La Paz (all on foot). The first day we passed through 3 pueblos, staying in the 3rd one the first night. The next day we continued to plunge in altitude and the landscape began to tranform into dense vegetation and the humidity began to show its face. We enjoyed a nice lunch along the river before heading up a steep climb in the afternoon sun. Definitely a workout! We stayed along a ridge overlooking the valley and surrounding mountains. It was beautiful, such an overwhelming amount of lush green vegetation. The camp areas are actually on some ones land and you pay them a small amount to camp. Even better they have a small supply of snacks and drinks, including beer. Both nights we enjoyed a 'refreshing beverage' with dinner. The third day we woke very early to avoid the afternoon heat and hopefully catch a ride out with some other hikers (reducing the cost). We had the trail to ours the entire morning and were able to enjoy the birds singing in the morning. The scenery was much the same as the say before, but with many more waterfalls along the trail. The sun did get intense and so did the bugs as we were now low enough in altitude that the environment was very tropical. Such a change from day 1. Mike had a comical 5 minute series on a water break we took along side a river on the second day. He was helping me leap between two rocks and as he regained his balance, he didn't quite do it and ended up with one foot in the water. He removed his shoe, laying out the insole and sock while we pumped water. While pumping water he managed to get stung in the arm by a bee. And shortly after that he accidently knocked his insole into the gushing river. He yelled to me to get it since he just had one shoe on, but I was too afraid to make the large leap across the rock unassisted. So he then hopped across with one shoe on and chased the insole down river. It luckily got caught up in some rocks and he was able to retrieve it. We left the river after that, taking it as a sign. The only disappointing part of the hike for me was the number of people on the trek. I thought that it was going to be tranquilo, however we just happen to set out on a day with two large groups (1 of 32 people and 1 of 15 people), plus small individual groups. After traveling for so long, sometimes you get selfish and want to experience it without other tourists, unfortunately that didn't happen for us on this adventure.

Made in Bolivia - Designreportaje
Driven by the fact that contemporary art, culture and graphic design from Bolivia is not yet part of the international dialogue; I decided to devote the final project of my studies to the promotion of Bolivian contemporary art and design.
After an 8 weeks research stay in my home country, followed by 5 intense month of work, my bilingual (Spanish/German) book MADE IN BOLIVIA was ready.
It aims to give a state of the art overview about the vital contemporary designers and artists scene as well as a general documentation and reflection of the development of graphic design and contemporary aesthetics and their message in Bolivia.
My book shall be a door of communication, a source of information and of course an invitation for international curators to include Bolivia to their points of interest.
