Bolivia News | Rodrigo Paz Sworn In As Bolivia's New President Ending 20 Years Of Socialist Rule

Conservative leader Rodrigo Paz has been sworn in as Bolivia’s new president, marking the end of nearly two decades of one-party rule. The 58-year-old took office in La Paz before lawmakers and regional leaders, pledging to rebuild an economy crippled by fuel shortages, inflation, and dwindling exports. Paz’s victory over former president Jorge “Tuto” Quiroga surprised many and signaled voters’ desire for stability and gradual reform after years under Evo Morales’ Movement Toward Socialism party.
