Queen Letizia's Planned Trip to Bolivia Canceled Due to Security Concerns and Spanish Elections
Queen Letizia of Spain's anticipated cooperation trip to Bolivia for 2026 has been canceled, marking the second time the visit has been postponed. The decision was made jointly by the Royal Household and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union, and Cooperation. The primary reasons cited for the cancellation are the ongoing security instability in Bolivia, which is currently under a state of exception, and the early general elections scheduled in Spain for November 29. The trip was initially planned for June but was deferred due to protests and violence in the Andean nation. This visit was intended to allow Queen Letizia to engage with Spanish cooperation projects and the work of organizations in the field, a role she has undertaken in various countries since King Felipe VI ascended the throne in 2014. During the Ibero-American Summit in Madrid, Queen Letizia discussed the situation with Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz Pereira.
