The large eastern departments of Bolivia sought autonomy from the central government in a reaction against plans to reform hydrocarbons extraction laws. Bolivia's largest and wealthiest department, Santa Cruz, led the separatist drive, with support also coming from its northern neighbors, the departments of Tarija and Beni. Civic leaders in the departments threatened strikes if the federal government did not consider establishing autonomy for departmental governments. Government officials in La Paz described the calls for autonomy as acts of "destabilization," although they denied that a coup was underway.
