    1. The #BoliviaFires have provoked a polemic about whether to declare a "national disaster." There is already a regional disaster, and a February 2019 "national emergency" re severe weather conditions.

    Santa Cruz politicians, environmentalists, and others have urged the national disaster declaration, while the government has resisted.

      Evidently, a national disaster declaration was not required for foreign aid to come in (as proponents argued), but it seems equally unlikely that the declaration would put foreigners in charge of fire management (as ministers claim).
