美国战争部长皮特·赫格斯周四表示,在持续不断的政变警告声中,美国仍致力于帮助保卫玻利维亚脆弱的政府。

赫格斯在X平台上发帖称,美国国防部以及新近成立的跨国军事政治联盟“美洲反卡特尔联盟(A3C)”,坚决反对任何推翻罗德里戈·帕斯·佩雷拉政府的企图,而帕斯·佩雷拉上任仅六个月。

“美国正在密切关注。玻利维亚绝不能让自己沦为该地区旧有贩毒恐怖主义主导现状的牺牲品,”赫格斯写道。“我们将继续支持玻利维亚等A3C伙伴国,确保贩毒恐怖分子无法在我们半球借死亡与破坏牟利。”

玻利维亚首都拉巴斯已经连续数周遭遇社会动荡,大规模抗议活动封锁了主要城市的街道,原因是经济通胀和燃油价格上涨。

玻利维亚国防部长马塞洛·萨利纳斯周二辞职。

帕斯上任后支持一项促进农业综合企业的土地改革法案,土著农民称该法案会让他们面临被驱逐的风险。他还取消了燃油补贴,导致油价飙升近90%。驾车者抱怨称汽油受到污染,损坏了他们的汽车。

特朗普政府表示,毒贩是煽动大规模骚乱的幕后黑手。

“毫无疑问,美国坚定支持玻利维亚合法的立宪政府,”美国国务卿马可·卢比奥周三在X平台上写道。“我们不会允许罪犯和毒贩在我们半球推翻民选领导人。”

“我们绝不能对此有任何误解;这是一场由该地区政治与有组织犯罪之间的邪恶联盟资助的政变,”美国副国务卿克里斯托弗·兰多周二表示,他称抗议活动是正在进行的“政变”的一部分。

与此同时,该国首位土著总统、曾执政长达14年的前总统埃沃·莫拉莱斯呼吁提前举行选举。“帕斯只剩下两条路:要么选择军事化这种自杀式决策,要么……在未来90天内举行选举,”他在X平台上写道。

近两年来,莫拉莱斯一直躲藏在玻利维亚中部古柯种植区查帕雷,逃避一项与一名15岁少女发生性关系相关的人口贩运指控的逮捕令。他否认这些指控,称其具有政治动机。

War Secretary Pete Hegseth on Thursday said the United States remains committed to helping defend Bolivia’s fragile government amid ongoing warnings of a coup d’état.

In a post on X, Hegseth said the War Department and the Americas Counter Cartel Coalition (A3C), a recently established multinational military and political alliance, reject all attempts to overthrow the government of Rodrigo Paz Pereira a mere six months into his term.

“The United States is watching. Bolivia must not allow itself to fall prey to the old status quo of narco-terrorist dominance in the region,” Hegseth wrote. “We will continue to support our A3C partners like Bolivia to ensure that narco-terrorists are deterred from profiting on death and destruction in our hemisphere.”

Bolivia’s capital, La Paz, has been rocked by weeks of social unrest as mass protests have blocked streets in major cities amid economic inflation and rising fuel prices.

Bolivian Defense Minister Marcelo Salinas resigned Tuesday.

Upon taking office, Paz supported a land reform bill to boost agribusiness that Indigenous farmers said put them at risk of eviction. He further scrapped fuel subsidies, sending prices surging by nearly 90%. Motorists complained that the gasoline was contaminated and ruined their cars.

The Trump administration has said drug traffickers are responsible for inciting the mass unrest.

“Let there be no mistake: the United States stands squarely in support of Bolivia’s legitimate constitutional government,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote Wednesday on X. “We will not allow criminals and drug traffickers to overthrow democratically elected leaders in our hemisphere.”

“Let us not make any mistake about that; it is a coup financed by this perverse alliance between politics and organized crime across the region,” Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said Tuesday, stating that the protests were part of an ongoing “coup d’état.”

Meanwhile, former President Evo Morales, the country’s first Indigenous president who ruled for an unprecedented 14 years, is calling for early elections. “Paz only has two paths left: a suicidal decision like militarization or … an election in the next 90 days,” he wrote on X.

For almost two years now, Morales has been hiding out in Bolivia’s central coca-growing Chapare region, evading an arrest warrant on human trafficking charges relating to allegedly having sex with a 15-year-old girl. He rejects the allegations as politically motivated.
