November 13-14, 2025: Representatives from various organizations, collectives, and platforms met for two days in Sucre, Bolivia, to consolidate the Bolivian Chapter of the International League of Peoples’ Struggle (ILPS).
The ILPS brings together more than 400 social and civil society organizations from over 40 countries around the world, coordinating efforts and actions aimed at positioning the people’s struggle against imperialism and ruthless global capitalism.
In this context, hundreds of organizations worldwide contribute ideas, actions, and positions in the face of the onslaught of various imperialisms and the devastating force of capitalism. The Sucre conference allowed 14 social organizations and political groups to identify the central role played by U.S. imperialism in the 2019 coup d’état and the lawfare process deployed by the government of Luis Arce Catacora to outlaw the Indigenous, Peasant, and Popular Movement and even attempt the physical elimination of its historical leader, Evo Morales. In this way, U.S. imperialism, the neoliberal right, and the Arce regime have succeeded in guaranteeing the return of the neoliberal right to power.
Samuel Villatoro, ILPS Vice Chairperson
This anti-democratic return of the right wing represents a serious threat to the Bolivian people because, in addition to privatizing state-owned companies and handing over natural resources to transnational capital, the government of Rodrigo Paz Pereira intends to violate national sovereignty by guaranteeing the return of the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to the country, thus subjecting his government to the geopolitical interests of the United States government.
In that vein, the social and political organizations gathered in the constitutional capital of the Plurinational State of Bolivia, define themselves as part of the structure of the Bolivian chapter of the League, committing to coordinate and make visible the actions that confront the pro-imperialist measures that are coming from the government and its power elite, rooted mainly in agro-industrial economic power.
The challenge is also to broaden the participation of the various organizations that share the principles of anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist struggle that support the noble stance of the people, who defend the rights of diversity and the most needy population.
Julia Marcelo, ILPS, and Malcolm Guy, ILPS Coordinator for Latin America and the Caribbean
Today we reaffirm the anti-imperialist struggle of the Bolivian popular movement and invite various collectives, platforms, and social organizations that identify with the frontal fight against imperialism and the vigorous denunciation of the advent of pro-imperialist measures, which are contrary to the communitarianism and solidarity common to the majority of the Bolivian people.
That is why we invite everyone to be part of this platform for articulation and integration, which will allow us to consolidate a unified voice that recognizes the plurality and diversity of our thought, but which coincides in the demand for a more just, more equitable, and more inclusive world.
