TRUTHDIG’S JOURNALISM REMAINS CLEARThe BBC:
Bolivian President Evo Morales has ordered the nationalisation of four private electricity companies.
Police moved into the offices of Corani, Valle Hermoso and Guaracachi firms, following Mr Morales’ decree.
Corani is half owned by a subsidiary of France’s GDF Suez. Guaracachi’s main partner is Britain’s Rurelec, while ELFEC and Valle Hermoso are local.
President Morales said that the government now controlled 80% of electricity generation in the country.
The storytellers of chaos tried to manipulate the political and media narrative in 2025, but independent journalism exposed what they tried to hide.
When you read Truthdig, you see through the illusion.
