Almost 46,000 fires have been reported in the Bolivian Amazon so far this year, accounting for more than 4 million hectares of burned forest. While this has been the largest registered number since 2012, Global Forest Watch has warned wildfires have sharply increased since 2019 due to growing illicit activities in the region. To better understand this development, the Impunity Observer interviewed Juan Pablo Chamon—director of free-market think tank Libera Bolivia. Chamon explains the fastest way for criminal groups to get clandestine roads for trafficking drugs, illegal minerals, and exotic animals is burning the forest. Contrary to mainstream media narratives blaming the private sector, he points to drug traffickers and smugglers working with Chinese or Hezbollah factions operating in the region. Moreover, Chamon highlights that Bolivian officials are colluding with criminal groups. For instance, three drug enforcement chiefs have been found guilty of drug trafficking by the US Drug Enforcement Administration. The United States has already extradited one of them. Finally, Chamon explains Bolivia’s location and resources are not the country’s sole attractions for transnational crime. The fact that international media do not cover Bolivia makes her more attractive, particularly for the interests of rogue nations like Iran and China.

Martin Litwak: There Can Be No Argentine Renaissance without Tax Cuts, Labor Reform 26:42

26:42

The Javier Milei administration has brought some stability to the Argentine peso through spending cuts, lower inflation, market liberalization, and improved access to capital flows. However, for Martín Litwak—an international lawyer specializing in wealth management—these measures fall short. He argues Argentina still needs deeper reforms, particularly to reduce the tax burden and dismantle the union-dominated economy, which continue to deter investment.

Joanna Guerra Teaches Liberalism to the App Generation 28:52

Joanna Guerra—a classical-liberal lawyer, philosopher, and university professor in Mexico—explains that younger generations lack an entrepreneurial mindset. This tragically stems from the ideological indoctrination they receive through schools, films, music, and more. She believes transmitting the principles of classical liberalism requires translating philosophical ideas into everyday experiences. In her book, Ser libre es cool, Guerra brings market-based innovation to life using real-world examples like Uber, Airbnb, and other apps.Buy Joanna Guerra’s book (in Spanish): https://amzn.to/430sjnw Show notes: https://impunityobserver.com/2025/05/06/joanna-guerra-teaches-liberalism-to-the-app-generation/…

On April 13, Ecuadorians reelected President Daniel Noboa for a full four-year term (2025–2029). Joselo Andrade, executive director of the Ecuadorian Institute for Economic Policy (IEEP), argues both candidates represented left-leaning principles. However, he emphasizes that Noboa at least defends democracy and civil liberties, essential pillars for achieving prosperity. Andrade stresses that the private sector and think tanks like IEEP play a critical role in educating citizens.

McMurtry is raising his voice through the People’s Party of Canada (PPC). His campaign focuses on defending free speech and Canadian pride. He does not want to see top-down sweeping changes and would rather focus on identifying and preserving the best of heartland Canadian values, those that attracted so many great people to settle in Canada.Show notes: https://impunityobserver.com/2025/04/08/jim-mcmurtry-lets-take-back-canada-from-virtue-signaling-nihilists/…

Buy Fergus Hodgson's book "Financial Sovereignty for Canadians": https://econamericas.com/financial-sovereignty-canadians/ In Canada, especially given the housing crisis, 65 percent of the population want an end to mass immigration. However, neither the Conservatives nor the Liberals have addressed the problem. Maxime Bernier, the PPC leader, contends that discussing the topics that concern Canadians will allow the PPC to expand its political support and get candidates in Parliament. However, for Bernier, addressing mass immigration is not only a political strategy but a necessary step on the path to tackling Canada's structural problems.

They chose innovation, spending two to three years developing a compelling brand with flavors that match Honduras's rich cacao, which has a slightly more fat (cacao butter) content. Pineda's unique approach, pushing the boundaries of taste creativity, allowed them to compete with well-known US and Swiss brands at Honduran supermarkets and garner international prizes. Pineda has also weaned his farm off pesticides and is pursuing organic certification, in an effort to meet the needs of the high-end market.I was able to bring back a small quantity of Pineda's chocolate with me to Colorado.

Emigration from Honduras means leaving behind siblings, children, and other family members—many of whom end up joining gangs. San Pedro Sula has been struggling with a serious challenge: its youth are leaving for the United States or Spain. Contreras argues this exodus is primarily due to the government's failure to enable economic opportunities.
