Featured Appearances
Education and Freedom: Why learning needs less state and more liberty (ESP)
Oriana Aranguren, LOLA Caracas Chapter Leader
In her op-ed, Oriana Aranguren argues that modern education has lost its purpose. Instead of nurturing curiosity and critical thinking, state-controlled systems often standardize, indoctrinate, and reward obedience over understanding.
She explains that real learning happens in freedom—when students can question, explore, create, and make mistakes without fear. Drawing from libertarian pedagogy, Aranguren shows how self-directed learning builds independent, responsible individuals.
Key points:
🔍 State control turns education into a tool for conformity.
🔍 Freedom unlocks creativity and genuine curiosity.
🔍 True reform starts with families and citizens, not bureaucracies.
Aranguren’s message is clear:
A free society requires free minds—and that begins with freeing education itself.
Bolivia at a Crossroads: Can a new government break old cycles? (ESP)
Lourdes Romero, Regional Leader, Latin America
In her op-ed, Lourdes Romero examines Bolivia’s political shift under President Rodrigo Paz. She argues that while the new administration promises openness, meritocracy, and economic renewal, it also faces deep resistance from groups tied to years of partisan control.
Romero highlights that Paz’s “technical cabinet” and pro-market approach have energized citizens seeking transparency and stability—but have also triggered protests from factions that fear losing influence.
Key points:
🔍 Bolivia’s institutions remain fragile after years of political capture.
🔍 Economic recovery requires trust, decentralization, and consistent rule of law.
🔍 Reform will depend on civil society’s vigilance, not just political promises.
Bolivia stands before a rare opportunity for renewal—but its success will depend on whether citizens defend these changes or allow old patterns to return.
