Rodrigo Paz sworn in as Bolivia’s new president, ending 20 years of one-party rule
- On Saturday, Nov. 8, 2025, Rodrigo Paz was sworn in as Bolivia's president in La Paz, ending nearly 20 years of Movement Toward Socialism party one-party rule.
- The Movement Toward Socialism's two-decade policies left the Bolivian economy in shambles, blamed for collapsed statist models, sputtering gas exports, fuel shortages, and U.S. dollar scarcity amid inflation over 20 percent.
- At his swearing-in, delegations from more than 70 countries attended, and President Rodrigo Paz said `We haven't been handed a throne, but a task`.
- After his Oct. 20 victory, Paz's government announced cooperation with international security agencies, including the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, and secured a $ 3.100 m loan from the Andean Development Corporation.
- If he acts too slowly, Rodrigo Paz risks losing political capital amid social pressure and protests while managing costly fuel subsidies .
