Elected after decades of left-wing rule, Paz now faces accusations of governing for elites and failing to address rising economic hardship and inequality. His government, meanwhile, blames drug traffickers for fuelling unrest and destabilising the country - claims that experts say lack evidence.
In this episode of the breakdown, Channel 4 News speaks with Enrique Castanon Ballivian, a lecturer at University College London specialising in Latin America, to examine what started the escalating unrest in the country and how it could end.
