VOICED : Bolivia busca despenalizar la coca

Thousands of Bolivians protested in La Paz, demanding the international decriminalization of coca leaf consumption, a practice common among farmers and the working class. The protest supported President Evo Morales, a former coca grower, who advocated for the decriminalization at the International Narcotics Control Board. The US opposes Bolivia's demand, viewing coca as a precursor to cocaine. Bolivia plans to highlight coca's medicinal benefits, such as combating diabetes, during the board's deliberations in Vienna.
