Bolivia Fights Fuel Crisis: Government Promises Relief

Bolivia Addresses Fuel Shortages with Increased Supplies Bolivia is facing a fuel crisis, causing long lines at gas stations across the country. The government responded by announcing increased fuel supplies from Thursday, June 4th, 2025. Authorities expect the situation to improve by Monday. A spokesperson stated, "The cisterns from additional sources are arriving between Thursday and Friday, allowing us to increase fuel distribution." The additional fuel is coming from neighboring countries including Paraguay, Argentina, Peru, and Chile. While the initial focus is on larger cities like La Paz and Santa Cruz, the government is working to distribute fuel to other regions as well. The spokesperson acknowledged the logistical challenges, explaining that the largest fuel receiving plants are located in Senkata and Palmasola. The government aims to significantly reduce lines at gas stations by Monday, June 9th, 2025, by increasing fuel distribution from these central points.
