This week in Bolivia
Bolivian authorities are actively investigating alleged human trafficking networks recruiting young citizens to fight in Russia, a situation that has prompted legislative calls for repatriation and denials from the Russian ambassador. Domestically, La Paz celebrated the 217th anniversary of its revolution with an emphasis on unity, while the government delayed critical decisions on 15 crisis-hit state-owned companies due to fiscal concerns. An international investigation into former Spanish Prime Minister Zapatero's payment for a Bolivian deal also expanded.
